FL with L. sphaericus Rey, white st running part underground sending up branches at inter- vals but also bearing at top roots and at intervals along subterranean at, subterranean branches which thicken towards end and bear 1 (poor one) of which this completely underground are fully formed the not wide open. These flowers glabrous, calyx white (blue?) but standard wings pink (not as strongly colored as in above ground fl), beel red at tip, style tufted, ovary glabrous, axile, deeply grooved on back 1-(part 2) coiled. These fl 7-8mm long. The above- ground st 16-15 cm long, angled (perhaps could be called narrowly winged), tho' looking glabrous vglauous has a few tubercle-like hairs on angles on upper part. Ls all 2-foliolate. Lfts flowers too often very small (3mm long) with tendrils 1-1½ mm. The upper lvs. & flattened particle of 5mm or less, the lfts increasing in size till upper most are 15-20 mm with a couple of veins. x 2-2¼ mm wide, distinctly 3-nerved, with tendrils (short on most if at. too) on uppermost 1 cm long v curl- ing but always simple. Stipule longer than particle, half airrow slope, the upper lobe to 1½ mm and 2 v 3-nerved (thence looking much like lft, the lower lobe narrower 1-nerved. Stipules ther- wise entire except for 1 tooth in the very
