Habit of i. sessUifolius, Hook, et Am., and, like that, turn- 

 ing black in drying : but readily distinguished by the distinct 

 petioles, I of an inch long. From L. macropus, Gill., it is 



known by the solitary pair of very narrow leaflets, by the larger 

 stipules, and by the total absence of pubescence.
