suffruticose, diffuse, much-branched; branches flexuous, patent, tomentoso-canescent; leaves horizontal, subsessile, 3–4-jugate, the common petiole gland-stipelled; leaflets elliptic-oblong, subcomplicate, silky-canescent beneath, the terminal petioled; stipules subulate, deciduous, the axil multi-glandular; racemes shortly pedunculate, deflexed, little longer than the leaf, pluriflowered; calyx hirsute, its segments subulate; petals. .?; legumes very short, turgid, villoso-hirsute, 2–3 seeded. Apparently prostrate, the branches spreading to all sides and angularly bent; the whole plant more or less canescent with soft hairs. Leaves remarkably patent, uncial, with a pulvinate cluster of dark-brown glands in place of stipules, and smaller tufts of similar glands as stipellæ between the leaflets. Leaflets 2–3 lines long, 1 1/2 wide, generally folded together. Flowers not seen. The fruit peduncles are as long or twice as long as the leaves. Legumes 3–4 lines long, very turgid and hairy; like those of I. eriocarpa.
