This appears to be a very distinct species. The flowers have the aspect 
of those of L. siuaziensis, Bolus, and L. multifiora, Schinz., but the calyx 
segments are different.

At first sight this appeared specifically distinct from L. lentictcla, from 
w4iich it looks very different on account of its long branches, larger leaves 
with shorter petioles, larger 2-nate flowers, and larger legumes. It seems 
better, however, to regard it as a more luxuriant var. of that species.
