A small bushy upright evergreen Shrub: branches slender, 
spreading, thinly clothed with a close-pressed silky pubescence. 
Leaves flat, spreading, alternate, obovately linear, bluntish, ter- 
minated with a short sharp mucro, attenuated to the base, up- 
per side slightly glaucous, and of a dull colour, underneath 
pale green, l-nerved. Petzoles short, slender at the base and 
thickening upwards. Stipules setaceous, brown, longer than the 
petioles. Flowers yellow, in a short raceme near the points of 
the branches, very sweet-scented, the leaves that are intermixed 
with them shorter and smaller than the others. Peduneles ax- 
illary, slightly angular, smooth. Calyz 5-cleft, 2-lipped, with 2 
small bractes attached to it near the base, one on each side, 
outside smooth; laciniz nearly equal, ovate, scarcely acute, 
each one-nerved, and fringed round the margins. Vexillum 
broad, rounded but slightly notched at the point, with a slender 
unguis, yellow, with a faint red mark near the bottom. Wings 
spathulate, with a longish ear at the base on one side, nearly 
as long as the slender unguis. Keel blunt, about the length of 
the wings, but shorter than the vexillum, producing two short
