Differs from the type in having purplish white flowers with sessile 

 (not unguiculate) standards, much smaller leaflets and larger fruits. The 

 plant was formerly regarded by myself as the same as the type ; but a 

 more close examination in the fields has led me to think it better to regard 

 it as a variety of the type.
