This is a difiicult plant to classify as the leaves are generally 

 uni-jugate and the terminal petiolate but occasionally they are 

 2-jugate, but as it is certainly allied to I. acutisepala Conrath 

 I have placed it here. The distinguishing features of the type of 

 this plant are : 



a) The branched virgate habit. 



b) The generally 1-jugate leaves, the leaflets being very 

 narrow and 15 — 30 mm long. 



c) The long racemes rather laxly flowered. 



d) The Short calyx + 1,5 mm long. 



It differs from I. acutisepala Conrath more particularly : 



a) By its narrower leaflets and fewer pairs of leaflets. 



b) By the shorter calyx with shorter lobes.

The distinguishing features of this plant which must be 

 placed among the Productae are: 



a) The diffuse habit. The stems peduncles petioles densely 

 covered with shortly stalked glands. 



b) The peduncles of 12—17 mm long with comparative few 

 flowers. 



c) The imparipinnate leaves with generally 4—5 pairs of rather 

 small leaflets.
