A peculiarly variable and perplexing plant, and perhaps here somewhat 
misinterpreted, but I have failed to recognise differences sufficiently stable 
to warrant the resuscitation of any other names. Certain specimens 
approach L. clandestina in having short, stiff and spreading pubescence, 
but the majority have a more sericeous indumentum ; Bove's specimens 
from the Desert of Sinai labelled Leobordea lotoidea, Delile (No. 129) 
represent a species of Astragalus.
