Differs from tlie type in Iiaving purplisli wliite flowers •with sessile 

 (not nnguiculate) standards, mucli smaller leaflets and larger fruits. Tlie 

 plant was formerly regarded by myself as the same as tlie type ; but a 

 more close examination in the fields has led me to thiuk it better to regard 

 it as a variety of the type.
