procumbent or prostrate, much branched, silky-pubescent; stipule falcate, small; petioles short, leaflets (small) cuneate-oblong or obovate, glabrous above, appressedly pubescent beneath; flowers in pairs or solitary, sub-sessile; calyx thinly silky, oblong, cleft to the middle, the lowest lobe subulate, very narrow; petals exserted; legume pubescent, scarcely longer than the calyx. A very dwarf suffruticose plant, the stems 6–8 inches long, spreading flat over the ground in all directions and densely leafy, with patent, prostrate branches. Leaves 3-foliolate, including the petiole not 1/2-inch long; the leaflets 2–2 1/2 lines long, 1 line broad, very blunt. Flowers small, yellow. The upper calyx lobes are connate in pairs for 1/2– 3/4 of their length, the lowest is separated by a much deeper sinus, and is very narrow, but nearly as long as the rest. As well as I can make out from a very bad specimen of Drege's plant in Herb. Bentham, it is the same as that of E. & Z.! from which I chiefly describe.
