Stipules linear-subulate, becoming recurved, 0.5-2 mm long. Racemes fairly closely 6-16-flowered; bracts subulate to linear-lanceolate, 1-2.5 mm long, spreading, subpersistent; bracteoles on the pedicel, setaceous. Calyx 1-1.3 cm long, appressed puberulous; lobes narrowly triangular, 1-2 times as long as the tube. Standard elliptic or elliptic-obovate, yellow, brownish marked with age, glabrous except sometimes along the midvein outside; wings nearly as long as the keel; keel abruptly rounded in the lower half, with a rather slender slightly incurved twisted beak, 1.5-1.8 cm long.
