No. 6170. 
This plant is very closely allied to the preceding and perhaps not specifically distinet. 
The noticable features are the trifoliolate leaves, the terminal leaflets generally broader 
than long, the long peduncles much longer than ‘he leaves, laxly 3-6-flowered near the 
summit. 
Series 9.—Flowers 10-12 mm. long in very lax raceme. Terminal leaflets suborbicular 
or broadly ovate, hirsute. Stem rufo-prlose.

long. Leaves long petiolate, trifoliolate ; leaflets suborbicular or ovate, entire, base rounded, 
hispid, and with long hairs ciliate, about 3 cm. long, 2:5 cm. broad ; lateral shortly petiolu- 
late. Racemes axillary and terminal longer than the leaves, bearing a few distant flowers. 
Calyx hairy, about 7 mm. long. Standard obovate, 10 mm. long, base auriculate and 
clawed, glabrous; carina boat-shaped, apex obtuse. Pod oblong, acute, base narrowed, 
about 18 mm. long. 
ZULULAND.—Near Entumeni, Wood No. 3987 and Wood No. 8534. 
Narat.—Lower Tugela, Wood No. 9275. 
Easily recognized by the flexuous pilose stems, the suborbicular or broadly ovate 
leaflets, and the very lax inflorescence of yellow flowers. 
Series 10.—Flowers small, 9-10 mm. long, on var. grandiflora larger in a lax raceme. 
Leaflets ovate, 2-3 cm. long, 15-25 mm. broad, in typical form. Standard glabrous.
