differs in the shorter pod and pedicels and the smaller flowers. 
From S. pinnata it differs in being nearly glabrous and by the

sandy plains and rocky hills, at an attitude of 1300-2000 m.

1871. : 
Perennial with a more or less branched caudex; stems 1-2 
dm. high ; basal leaves numerous, broadly oblanceolate or spatu- 
late, stellate-pubescent ; stem-leaves rather few, lanceolate, slight- 
ly auriculate-clasping ; sepals oblong, 3-4 mm. long, margined 
with purplish, obtuse, glabrous ; petals 7-8 mm. long, yellowish- 
white below, upper portion rose or purplish ; pedicels 4-10 mm. 
long, erect or ascending ; pods glabrous, 3-6 cm. long, slightly 
arcuate, 2 mm. wide, acute, but beak obsolete; seeds in 2-rows, 
winged above and on one side. 
This species is nearest related to A. Lyall S. Wats., and was 
included therein, but differs in the broader and shorter basal leaves, 
which are decidedly stellate, and in the pod which lacks a distinct 
beak. It grows on the higher mountains at an altitude of 2500- 
3500 m, |
