Schlechter's specimens of L. decipiens do not materially differ from 
Drege' s specimen, upon which Bentham founded his species, except in the 
straighter pods, which character in its entirety cannot be regarded as of 
sufficient moment to warrant the retention of the name. Wyley's and 
Zeyher' s specimens are peculiar in being nearly a foot high and very fasti- 
giate, but the smaller flowers, their paucity, and the narrow subfalcate 
pods are sufficient to illustrate the justice of Harvey's view as to their 
conspecificity. The species extends northward into Great Namaqualand, 
where Schinz and Dinterhave collected it.
