Notes:
Shrubs c.40-50cm high often with a single stout shoot. Whole plant appearing grey-green. Flowers pale yellow, 9-10mm, almost wingless. Leaves rather thick. A small area of c.1/2 hectare covered with this downy form, all around were glabrous plants. The lack of a corolla segment wing is atypical for the type variety. WR Sykes, 5 Oct 1992.
