• Leaves are trifoliate, alternately arranged and 2-3cm long. Some but not all of the leaves have a pale green v-shaped marking on the adaxial surface. Fine and short hairs on the main stem and pedicels. Pink/ purple pedicellate raceme inflorescence in a sphere shape with green hairs interspersed, about 4cm across. Individual flowers are bilaterally symmetrical.
• The specimen observed was the only plant of its type within approximately a 20m radius, but many other individual plants were seen in the greater area.
• Found growing in dirt next to a concrete curb alongside short grass, bryophytes and other very small unidentified vascular plants. Little cover at the site.

• Leaves are trifoliate with pinnate venation and are alternately arranged. They are elliptic with obtuse apexes and serrate margins. Leaves and stems are pubescent. Bilaterally symmetrical flowers, pea-like with a standard, keel and wing morphology. Raceme inflorescence, light purple flowers with connate calyx covering ¼ of the flower base. Fruits are hairy spiral pods typical of the Fabaceae family.
• Only one individual of this species was observed within a 50m radius of the location
• Specimen was found in very long grass amongst young shrubs. Bushes and deciduous trees 3m uphill from the plant. Neighbouring a construction site and next to a sidewalk. No cover.
