Characterized by the canescent and softly villous foliage, ate 
nerved and setosely serrulate leaflets; heads 1 to 6-flowered; invo- 
lucre glabrous, of 2-5 separate, laciniate-aristate bracts, 2 to 4™™ 
long; banner of the corolla with three rounded teeth at the trun- 
cate apex; wings slender, as long as the banner, auriculate at base 
of blade; keel two-thirds as long, tipped with an obtuse erect beak, 
the keel itself purple, auricled at base; ovary obovate, pilose at 
summit, one-ovuled.

Undoubtedly distinct from T. tenerum Eastw., as HELLER indi- 
cates, but it is unfortunate that the floral characters were not better 
described [Calyx cylindrical, or somewhat campanulate, 4™™ long, 
the tube 2™™ long, more or less membranous, veins prominent; 
the narrowly lanceolate teeth aristate, green: corollas 1° long, 
slender, 2™™ across, whitish, the hood of the keel purple”) when 
it is considered that in this group of small species the floral char- 
acters are of the utmost importance.

Q:31. 1882.—The prostrate or slightly ascending stems:10 to 20°" 
long, often many from a thickened root; softly silky-pubescent, 
sometimes densely so: leaflets obovate, retuse or obtuse or some- 
times those of upper leaves short acute at apex, subcuneate at base, 
minutely spinulose-serrulate; stipules broadly ovate, sharply toothed 
and acute; petioles filiform, the lower 1 to 3 times the length of 
the leaflets, the upper scarcely longer than the leaflets: peduncles 
exceeding the leaves, 1 to 3°™ long, 1 to 7 (usually 2 to 5)-flowered ; 
involucre 5 to 7-divided into triangular-lanceolate acute and entire 
segments, 1 to 2™™ long, these spreading in age, rarely somewhat 
toothed: calyx 3 to 4™™ long, villous-pubescent, the 5 triangular 
lanceolate teeth about equaling the tube in length, the lower one
