The distinguishing features of this distinctly woody shrub are: 



a) The leaves are usually pinnately trifoliolate, the lateral 

 leaflets being opposite, the terminal leaflets being 3 — 8 mm 

 from the point of insertion of the lateral. 



b) Racemcs slender rather laxly many flowered, the flowers 

 small and singularly narrow. 



c) The Standard is narrow 4,5 — 5 mm long, hairy on the 

 outside with a hooked mucro at the apex. The keel seems 

 to be at an early period deciduous. 



The gcneral aspect is somewhat similar to that of /. pscxdo- 

 xHbidata^SikeY fil. from Niam-Niam land, but tbe flowers on dissection 

 differ in many points. The flowers of L. psendosubulata are + 4 mm
