Among the largest and handsomest of all the Trefoils, and at the same time the most singular. In some
of our specimens the stipules are an inch long, and neatly } of an inch broad, and the fructified capitula are
more than two inches in diameter.

Allied to P . pubescens, which we have from Peru, but that is much more hairy, the leaflets are broader at
the base, the calyx rough with glands, and the corollas smaller.
