Inflorescences 2–6-headed racemes; raceme axes usually 2.5–10 mm long, normally tomentose or appressed-puberulous and resinous; peduncles 2–5.5 mm long, with indumentum as on raceme axes; heads globular, 3–5 mm diam., densely 20–30-flowered, golden. Flowers 5-merous; sepals ±free. Pods narrowly linear, arcuate, to 6 cm long, 2–3.5 mm wide, thinly coriaceous, glabrous.
