Stems extensively trailing. Leaflets 3, narrow; those of the upper leaves especially. Peduncles 1–1 1/2 inch long; flowers very small. Peduncles not quite twice as long as the leaves; the umbel somewhat like that of Trifolium repens. Stipule sometimes falcate. Legume very short. This is the original “ Ononis micrantha ” of Thunberg, a very appropriate name and worthy of being preserved.
