Shrubs, leafless or usually becoming so, either erect or depressed, with reddish or purplish small fls., rarely cult{{SCH}}. There are about 20 species in New Zeal., very difficult of delimitation{{SCH}}. Lvs. 1- or 3-5-foliolate, wanting or deciduous after the bloom has passed: fls. in lateral racemes; calyx cup-shaped or bell-shaped, 5-toothed; corolla papilionaceous, the standard orbicular and usually reflexed, the wings oblong and obtuse and somewhat falcate, the keel oblong and incurved and obtuse; upper stamen free: pod small, leathery, oblong to orbicular{{SCH}}. ''C. grandiflora'' Hook. f. is much-branched, to 2m high, with compressed and grooved glabrous erect branches: lvs. pinnately 3-5- foliolate, appearing in spring and early summer and then caducous, the lfts. glabrous and obcordate-cuneate: fls. about 6mm long, in drooping racemes of 5-12, white or lilac{{SCH}}. C. odorata, Colenso, has pubescent drooping branches, and much smaller fls. in 10-20-fld. racemes: pod smaller (¼in, or less long) and longer-beaked{{SCH}}.
