A climbing shrub, 60—80 feet long, or casually a spreading shrub or small 
tree, 15—30 feet high, branches often thickened into curved or spiral hooks; branch- 
Jets puberulous or pubescent, surrounded at their point of origin by a cluster of 
scaly bracts. Leaves 1'5—3 in. long; leaflets 9—15, elliptic-oblong, rounded truncato 
or slightly retuse, base wide-cuneate or rounded, green and glabrous above, paler and 
pubescent with long adpressed hairs beneath, :25—:4 in. long, “2-8 in. wide; rachis 
1--2:5 іп. long, densely pubescent as are the short petiolules, Flowers minute, secund, 
in small axillary panicles on the young branches, 1:5—9 in. long, *75—1 іп, wide; 
peduncles, branches and pedicels densely pubescent; bracteoles persistent, basal lanceolate, 
epicalycine pair ovate, embracing lower fourth of calyx-tube; calyz campanulate, teeth 
short, obtuse except the longer acute or lanceolate lowest; corolla white, petals all short- 
clawed, standard oblong to wide-obovate, emarginate; s/amens 9, in one sheath split 
along upper side or at times in two lateral sheaths; ovary glabrous or slightly puberulous 
along one or rarely both sutures, shortly stipitate; style short; ovules 3. Pod indehiscent, 
thin, membranous, greenish, quite glabrous, 2'5 in. long, 1 in. wide, I-seeded, very 
rarely 2-seeded, obtuse at apex, abruptly cuneate at base and shortly stipitate; seed 
reniform, compressed, not seen Tipe.
