A species exhibiting affinities to L. calycina, Benth. and L. htunifusa, 
Burch., respectively, but differing from the former in the almost glabrous 
carina, which exceeds the calyx in length, and though having a resem- 
blance to the latter, the shorter flowers and hairy calyx distinguish it from 
that species immediately. 
104. L. OENATA, Diimmer, sp. nov. L. humifusae, Burchell, af&nis ab 
floribus minoribus, vexillo breviter unguiculato, limbo oblongo fere glabro, 
carina latiore glabra distinguitur. 
Planta perennis, humifusa, caulibus ad 15 cm. longis parcissime 
adpresse pubescentibus aut mox glabris, ochraceis ; ramuli laterales, breves, 
plurimi, valde foliati floriferique. Folia trifoliolata ; petioli stipulam 
aequantes vel duplo superantes ; foliola obovato-cuneata, apice rotundata, 
lateralia 3 mm. longa aut minora, terminalia paulo majora, supra 
glaberrima, subtus sericula, demum glabrescentia, fere enervata, crassi- 
uscula ; stipula unica, subulata, 1 mm. vix excedens. Flores axillares vel 
ramulos laterales brevissimos terminantes, singuli, subsessiles, sicco 
pallide straminei. Calyx 5 mm. longus, extra sericulus, venosus, dentibus 
superioribus triangularibus 1 mm. longis, inferiore duplo longiore. 
Vexillum perbrevitur unguiculatum, in toto 9 mm. altum, lamina late 
oblonga vel late ovata, obtusa aut acutata, basi fere truncata, postice ad 
carinam pilis instructa ; alae 6-7 mm. longae, glabrae, limbis paulo 
curvatis oblongis rotundatis basi obtuse sagittatis, unguibus limbis duplo 
aut tertio longioribus ; carina alis similis, nisi paulo longior et latior, basi 
anguste sagittata ; ungues gracillimi. Ovarium lineare, frontem versus 
et ad suturum superiorem hirsutulum, stylo curvato superne glabro, 
stigmate oblique subcapitato.
