Aspalathus florulenta R.Dahlgren

A decumbent, rather closely branched shrublet, ascending 0.25-0.5 m above the ground. Young branches glabrous, puberulous only on the very tips and shortest branchlets. Leaflets linear, 2.5-5 mm long, ±0.5 mm thick, subterete (thickest in apical half), straight or slightly curved, glabrous or sparsely puberulous, acute to apiculate. Flowers very small, solitary on the tips of short lateral branchlets or (these being suppressed) in short-shoots. Bract conical or tooth-like, ±0.3-0.5 mm long, puberulous. Pedicel 0.7-1.3 mm long, puberulous. Bracteoles conical, 0.1-0.3 mm. Calyx tube sparsely puberulous; lobes subulate, 1.2-1.7 mm long, obtuse or subacute, subterete, slightly incurved, subglabrous. Petals light yellow or standard ± violet. Standard blade circular, 3.4-4 x 3.5-4 mm, rounded apically, short-sericeous on most of the back (glabrous at the base). Wing blades oblong-elliptic, ±2.8 x 1.5 mm, glabrous. Keel blades 3.1-3.6 x ±1.9 mm, glabrous, with very slightly convex upper margin. Pistil puberulous on upper side of ovary and on basal half of style, otherwise glabrous; ovules 2. Ripe pods not seen.
