Racemes axillary, often branched, 2.5–10 cm long, hairy like the stems; peduncles 1–2 cm long; pedicels 2–4 mm long, both similarly pubescent; bracts 2.5–6 × 1.5–4 mm, ovate or ovate-lanceolate, pubescent, acute, very soon deciduous; bracteoles 4.5 × 1 mm, oblong-lanceolate, ciliolate, deciduous.
Fruit of 2 articles (1 sometimes undeveloped) joined by a narrow neck, each oblong-elliptic or roughly semicircular, 7 × 5 mm, rather sparsely covered with tubercular-based hairs particularly when young.
Standard yellow with a 2-lobed purple spot at the base, 11 × 8 mm, almost round, slightly emarginate; wings and keel yellow, the former free, the latter not exceeding the standard.
Young stems densely covered with glandular tubercular-based hairs; older stems appearing jointed at the nodes due to the scars formed by the deciduous stipules.
Calyx pubescent, 2-lipped; lips 10–11 × 5 mm, elliptic, the marginal areas not pubescent, one acute the other slightly 3-fid.
Seeds chestnut in colour, 3.8 × 3 × 2 mm, ellipsoid-reniform, not beaked beyond the small eccentric hilum.
Small shrub c. 90 cm tall.
