This plant, in the specimen determined as V. Aherniana, is 

 quite different from it — though in certain features undoubtedly 

 related — by its 5-foliolate leaves, the densier indumentum of 

 petioles, petiolules and flowers, and the presence of 3 (instead 

 of 2) peduncles in the axils of the leaves.
