 brevissime petiolatis trifoliolatis ; foliolis anguste linearibus integerrimis, floralibus 

 pedunculo patente subdimidio brevioribus ; petalis albis mox roseis oblongis exun- 

 guiculatis sepala cuspidato-apiculata quadruplo superantibus ; siliqua oblonga 6-7- 

 sperma pendula thecaphoro longiore. — With the foregoing. — Stem 1 to 2 feet 

 high, nearly simple. Lowest cauline leaves fallen ; those extant have petioles of 

 only a line in length, scarcely exceeding the minute and setaceous stipules ; those 

 of the upper and floral leaves still shorter, or almost wanting. Leaflets 0-8 lines
