A peculiarly distinct plant with the general facies of L. angustifolia, 
Steud., though easily recognised by the more hairy slender habit, shortly 
pedunculate depressedly hemispheric flower-heads, subsessile smaller 
hairy flowers, and inconspicuous vexillum, which scarcely extrudes from 
the calyx.

This species varies somewhat in the degree of pubescence and the 
relative length of the peduncles, Schlechter' s description of L. trifolioides 
does not in any way differ from certain specimens, which I consider forms 
of this species.
