The coriaceous, thickly felted ferruginous large elliptic leaves 
characterise this species and distinguish it from its immediate ally, 
P. obovata, Schinz.

A remarkably distinct plant, v^hich by its large leaflets, paired 
stipules, horizontal concave standard, straight keel and style, exhibit 
a greater affinity to this genus than to that accorded it by Bolus. The 
large flowers, which are invariably disposed in secund racemes, are, 
according to Mr. Medley Wood, a dull purple, the upper margin of the 
standard being prettily fimbriated. In its general habit it is very similar 
to the preceding species, but the relatively larger, fewer flowers, and the 
three distinct bracteoles investing the bases of the calyces, render it 
easy of identification.
