Root perennial. Stem angled, branching, climbing over tall shrubs, 
pubescent particularly along the angles. Leaflets 3-nerved, covered with 
a soft pubescence, the lateral leaflets generally round, the middle one fre- 
quently rhomboidal. Common Petioles 1 — 2 inches long. Stipules su- 
bulate. j Racemes 4 — 5 inches long, many flowered. Peduncles angled. 
Calyx 4-cleft, segments acute, the upper one 2-cleft, the lower longer than 
the rest. Corolla yellow, longer than the calyx the petals all equal, the

The corolla, the seeds and the habit of this plant distinguish it from the 
other species of this genus, although in character it is very closely allied 
to them.
