A slender, erect shrub 1-3 m tall, sparingly to rather richly branched, often lanky, with an up to more than 1 m long trunk, but sometimes branched from the base. Branches slender (sometimes pendulous), sparsely to densely short-tomentose. Leaflets linear-filiform, 4-10 mm long, weak, subterete, ± curved, glabrous or subglabrous, bright green, acute to acuminate. Inflorescence a terminal raceme of 2-12 rather large flowers situated some mm from each other; rarely pairs of closely situated flowers. Bract and bracteoles linear, (1.2-)1.6-2.4 mm long, almost glabrous, apiculate or mucronulate. Pedicel 1-3(-4.5) mm long, puberulous. Calyx broadly campanulate, glabrous, sparsely appressed-puberulous; lobes triangular, 0.8-1.6 mm long, glabrous, green, mucronate. Petals bright yellow. Standard blade 9.5-11.5 x 7.5-9.5 mm, sericeous on the base of the back and often also very sparsely sericeous on its apical half or more. Wing blades 7-8.7 x 2.9-3.9 mm, glabrous. Keel blades lunate-rostrate, 7.5-9.7 x 3-4(-4.5) mm, the apical part prolonged and rounded or tapering; glabrous or often very sparsely appressed-puberulous on apical lower parts; upper margin slightly concave. Pistil sericeous on ovary and style base. Pod broadly triangular-lanceolate, 9-11 x 4-4.5 mm, sparsely short-sericeous on most parts.
