1 {a). R. Texana : minutely velvety-pubescent ; stems diffuse, mu<li 

 branched from tlie base ; stipules setaceous, minute ; leaflets (smjill) 

 rhombic-ovate or ovate-lanceolate, obtuse, mueronulafe, rounded or sliulitiv 

 cordate at the base, pubescent and dotted wirh ininute resinous ftlands 

 beneath, the upper surface reticulated and nearly glabrous ; j)eduncles 

 axillary, mostly 1-flowered, much shorter than the petioles ; teeth of the 

 calyx attenuate-subulate, rather shorter than the corolla; legumes i)ubesceiii, 

 oblong, narrowed at the base, nearly straight. 



Texas, Drummond ! — Stems decumbent, scarcely twining. Leaflets about

 imperfect.
