simplex. Caulis teres, ramis carens v. in paucos ramos divisus. 
Folia approximata, cum petiolis decidua, 3-5-foliolata, exstipulata, 
petiolo teretiuseulo ipsis parum longiore v. wquilongo insidentia. 
Foliola angusto-lanceolata, acuta, brevissime petiolulata, integer- 
rima, 1-2" longa, 2-4" lata ; medium lateralibus majus ; omnia 
plana, eoncoloria. Bractezs nulle. Pedunculi axillares et ter- 
minales, solitarii, uniflori, crassi, teretes, primo semunciales, deni- 
que longiores. Sepala 4 lanceolato-linearia, longe acuminata, 
petalis scilicet alterna, flavo-virentia, 6-9" longa, 13—3" lata, de-

elongato-oblonga, unguiculata, unilateraliter flexa, integerrima, 
lutea, decidua, cam ungue 21—3" longa, 5-7" lata, glabra, duo ex- 
teriora angustiora, omnia in unguem semiteretem pallidiorem circi- 
ter semipollicarem gradatim contraeta. Filamenta 5 v. 7 (nunquam 
6) inferne inter se et cum stipite germinis connata in columnam 
a petalis deversam semiteretem 1—2" longam et 1" latam, superne 
unilateraliter disposita, paulo supra desolutionem stipitis germinis 
libera, e rufo mox fulvescentia, filiformia; lateralia paulo breviora 
et minus alte connata. | Anthera biloculares, basifixze, lineari-tetra- 
gone, sordide purpurascentes, circiter 3" longs, glabre, longi- 
tudinaliter dehiscentes, apice apiculatz, basi brevissime bilobulatz,
