The distinguisliing features of this virgate suffrutex related 

 to the two species already mentioned and in some of its characters 

 is related to /. xtcimphißa Guill. et Perr. are: 



a) The virgate stems and cinereous nature of the foliage when 

 dried. 



b) The imparipinnate leaves with generally from 5 — 10 linear 

 oblong, or sometimes linear acute leaflets — the lateral 

 markedly alternate. 



c) The long copiously flowered racemes of comparatively 

 small flowers. 



d) The Short calyx tube and long setaceous calyx lobes. 



e) The narrow rather slender somewhat falcate legumes, ge- 

 nerally 15 — 17 mm long, strigose. 



If this were a South african species it would be placed in 

 Harveys group AlternifoUae.
