densely hairy, with simple hairs; stem erect, slightly branched; leaves pinnati-partite, with ovate obtuse and toothed lobes; pods turned up, terete, densely covered with short bristles, thrice as long as the pedicel; seeds in two rows. A foot high. Lower leaves petiolate, crowded, 2–4 inches long, with 7–9 lobes at each side, the lower lobes sub-distant, the upper close, the middle 3–5 lines long, toothed; stem leaves gradually smaller. Fruiting racemes, 3–4 inches long; pedicels very hairy. Sepals a line long. Claw of petals as long as the calyx, lamina oval. Pods 6–8 lines long, 3/4 line wide; valves 3 nerved; style very short; stigma thick, bilobed. Seeds minute, with incumbent cotyledons, not “accumbent,” as Turcz. describes them. Allied to S. Burchellii and S. Gariepinum, from both which it differs in the longer leaves, and especially in the shorter, densely setose pods.
