shallow sinus bet the lobes. (side away from petiole.) Fls solitary on peduncles 10-?5 mm (ppt lengthen infr), articulated somewhat above middle (point articulation marked by 2 hardly visible (20x) calybe points but no tracts and now no arms. Flower broken with no trace, purple the exact shade as L.sphaericus. Venusially veined, also similar in that stgnd- all has lighter spot toward base. Flw also similar in that standard is notched but the open fl produces a different effect in that the standard (perhaps slightly curled) is more concave the fusion of the style through the keel more less askew. Fl 1?5mm high! meas along back x standard 12-13 mm broad. Calyx glabrous abt 5 mm long, which the equal acute 3-nerved teeth are abt 3 mm long. Style lays on inside, def twisted, mary glabrous, slight appitate, 2-ridged on both edges, so much so on upper edge that it may be winged in pt. Oicles 2-3. No mention in any books of L. with subteranean fls otherwise. This seem to blind char. of L. saticae L. with those of L. sphaericus Petz. (34-13-32) Compd with L. Cicerah which is similar in having short d style. But h.C.—is larger in all parts: fls to 8 cm x 5 mm; calyx 10mm (which teeth are 6mm); purple tendrils long & branched. Corolla purplish (sorta brick) red!
