8-19-31 pubescent with downward pointing hairs. Plant not at all glandular. Stvbs broad lanceolate 27x11mm rounded at base to about 7mm acrose but with no def. narrowed looks; both shallow, apex bluntly acute. Lvs on branches similar but smaller (but/ends less) Bracts similar smaller, more nearly entire time or upper part infl.(not in blossom) almost exactly same length as fl. Lvs softly pub. with upward pointing hairs. Many lvs studied 8-20 reflexed. Calyx 54mm distinct 2+ mm from the triangular-lanceolate teeth. Corolla 8mm of a dull pale pink with dark red at base of lower lips. Lips velvety-silky pub.outside, slightly pub.ints inside. Anthers yellow (slight tinges of purple when young), almost glabrous (3/4) but with few hairs where attached to filament and a few glutin. ous hairs(making them tend to stick together) at apex. Anthers style just exserted. Oviducts now oblong, hairy, shorter than calyx with about 12 longitudinall- ly striate seeds. [Common 9-6-31/Boveret-noirla] [See O.verna Rech 6-25-33] Sequences 8-17-84. 8-19-31 Coronilla varia L. Costa I 465, Bon. 90, [illegible] & 578; BM & CP. 4/6, SOX I 4/13 FLv fr Bovert. Stipules very small & fts vary greatly in size: those on lower lvs 2.5x1 cm., or appear to be 10 x 8 mm., all oblong truncate-rounded with piculate at apex. Claw of standard strongly arched upward. Style thyme such that it seems a tendon at back of style at x-tip. Pedicels = or slightly longer than calyx.
