The present variety is easily distinguishable from the type in having 

 much more rounded lobes of leaflets. There is a specimen very much like

 petioles 2 cm. long, complauate or winged, lateral segments obovate rounded 

 at the apex, 3-5 lobulate, abruptly attenuate at the base, 2| cm. long. 

 Racemes 4 cm. long, pedicels 1 mm. long, bracts obtuse | mm. long. 

 Sepals 4, oblong, 1| mm long, -f mm. broad. Petals 4, obovate, spathulate,
