Annual, attaining about 4 decim. in height, many-ramose ; 

 main stem erect ; branches erect-patent, or sometimes diffuse. 

 Leaflets obovate, cunteate towards the base, emarginate or 

 nearly so, erectpatently (adpressed when dry) ciliated on 

 margin, erectpatently (adpressed when dry) pilose on the midrib 

 beneath, 4-14 mm. long, 2^-8 mm. wide; those of the ultimate 

 branchlets smaller narrower cuspidato-obtuse-tipped and dense; 

 veins delicate and conspicuous, regularly and closely arranged. 

 Legume elliptical, minutely mucronate and rounded at the 

 apex, compressed but thick, biconvex, loosely reticulato-elevato- 

 nervate, minutely and thinly adpressed-puberulent on the 

 surface and edges, 2-2^ mm. long, much exserted beyond the 

 persistent scarious and nervate calyx (the calyx-lobes obtuse 

 at the apex), which is about one-half as long as the legume.

Not uncommon; it is distinguished from K. striata (Thunb.) 

 SCHINDLER by the form of the legume and of the leaves. The 

 legume of the latter is larger (about 3 mm. long), more flatly 

 compressed, more strongly edged, acute and cuspidate into a 

 short beak at the apex, equal to or scarcely exceeding the 

 persistent cah^x ; the persistent calyx is much larger (about 

 3 mm. long) and the calyx-lobes sharper (acute or acutish).
