The present plant is, in all respects, like 1). villcsa DC. But in this 

 species, the seed is always one in each pod and the standard has a dis- 

 tinct spurs on both sides of the lamina. Accordingly, I think the plant 

 is specifically separable from D. villosa DC. The leaves of the specimen, 

 upon which the above description is based, are of a thinly hairy form. 

 Here is another form with villose leaves which are much smaller than the 

 leaves of the other form. The villose form seems to be a young stage of 

 the other.
