macrostachya DC., and venusta Eckl. et Zeyh., which also 
approach our plant, differ from it, as all other species 
hitherto described, in the number and form of the folioles, 
etc. Our plant seems to be scarcely suffrutescent, and the 
stem is ascendant, but not flexuose. Stipules 3-4 lines long, 
nearly 21. broad at the base, erect. Leaves 14-2} inches 
long; leaflets opposite or alternate, 3 lines Mer 14-2 ]. 
broad, with a distinct but very short partial petiole dod mi- 
nute mucro; the terminal leaflet generally equal to the lateral 
ones. Racemes many-flowered; bracts membranaceous, white, 
aslong as the pedicels (2 lines. Flowers 4-5 lines long, 
pale purple or pink? calyx not quite half as long as the co- 
rolla, its lobes of equal length, the two upper ones less deeply 
separated. Vexillum broadly obcordate, reflexed at the sides: 
ale and carina of equal length, the latter tipped with deep 
purple. Ovary stalked, linear, with 6-8 ovules.
