A plant of generally robust habit and more or less branched, 

 suberect, diffuse or occasionally climbing by its cirrhose petioles 

 (f. umbrosa Haussk.). Leaves irregularly 2-3 pinnatisect, glaucous, 

 with leaflets cut into linear, acute lobes, which are normally 

 channelled but become flattened and elongate in shade. Bacemes 

 dense in flower but lax in fruit, often rather many- (sub 20) floivered, 

 subsessile or rarely shortly peduncled. Bracts linear-oblong, 

 cuspidate, serrate above, whitish in colour, about as long as the 

 fruiting pedicels but in shade-forms sometimes longer. Fruiting 

 pedicels short, much dilated above, straight or flexuous, and sub- 

 erect. Sepals minute, about 1 mm. long and f mm. broad, broadly 

 ovate or sometimes nearly orbicular, acute, irregularly incise- 

 dentate or laciniate, whitish or rosy in colour, narrower than the 

 corolla-tube and rather persistent. Corolla 5-6 m77i. long, lohite 

 in colour or occasionally flushed with pink, with the tip of the 

 inner petals blackish red, and usually a contiguous external blotch 

 of the same colour at the base of the wings of the dipper petal. 

 Upper petal broad and much dorsally compressed, with the green 

 keel somewhat flattened, and spreading wings reaching the apex 

 and forming a truncate but scarcely emarginate outline. Loioer 

 petal loith spreading margins, narrow below but dilated towards 

 the apex and becoming ovate- spathulate. Fruits rather small, 

 barely exceeding 2 mm. in length and equally broad, subrotund 

 with little lateral compression but distinctly keeled ; rounded- 

 obtuse above, loith the keel drawn into a short but persistent 

 apiculus, and slightly narrowed below to an obscure neck at least 

 as broad as the tip of the thickened pedicel ; when dry, granular- 

 rugose, with obscure and shallow apical pits.

Dioarfer and more compact in habit than the type, and rarely, 

 if ever, diffuse or climbing. Foliage intensely glaucous, with, finer, 

 sometimes subcapillary leaf -segments. Floioers generally suffused 

 luith pink, with rather more broadly winged outer petals than in 

 the type. Fruits longer than broad, subrotund-ovate, and ogivale
