Heads in pairs on a short axillary axis, 30–40-flowered, deep yellow; peduncles 1–2.5 mm long, often obscured by anthers so heads appear sessile, densely pubescent; basal bract wide, concave, deciduous, c. 1 mm long.

Pods linear, straight to shallowly and somewhat irregularly curved, raised over seeds and very shallowly constricted between them, to 7.5 cm long, c. 2.5 mm wide, coriaceous, with patchy indumentum of silvery appressed hairs.
