Woody herb or small shrub, 1-2.6 m tall, with 1-several thin stems and rather strictly ascending pubescent branches mostly towards the top, rarely somewhat procumbent in burned and heavily grazed places. Leaves mostly in tufts, 3-foliolate; leaflets oblanceolate-linear, oblanceolate to oblanceolate-elliptic, rounded to refuse, mostly (1.5-)2-4.5 x 0.4-1.5 cm, appressed pubescent beneath; petioles usually a little shorter than the leaflets. Stipules shortly stalked, linear-lanceolate to narrowly oblong-falcate, markedly asymmetrical, ±5-15 x 1-4 mm. Racemes terminal, up to 10-22 cm long, with few to many fairly closely to rather laxly arranged flowers; bracts linear to elliptic-caudate, 2.5-6 mm long, caducous; pedicels rather stiffly erect. Calyx 6-9(-10) mm long; upper lobes narrowly attenuate-triangular, as long as to a little longer than the tube. Standard subcircular, yellow, sometimes reddish brown tinged outside, fading orange-red, glabrous outside; wings broad, exceeding the keel; keel abruptly rounded about the middle, with a rather short slightly incurved beak, 1.1-1.4 cm long, lanate towards the upper margin. Legume broadly cylindrical, abruptly contracted to a 4-5 mm long stipe, 3.4-4(-4.5) x 1.1-1.3 cm, glabrous, ±25-40-seeded. Seeds oblong-reniform, 3.5-4 mm long, with a small aril, granulate or smooth, dark brown.
Perennial, woody herb, (0.45-)1.00-2.60 m high, with 1-several thin, strictly ascending stems. Leaves mostly in tufts. Leaflets ± oblanceolate, appressed-pubescent beneath. Inflorescences up to 0.1-0.2 m long racemes, terminal. Flowers yellow, sometimes reddish brown-tinged. Calyx with lobes ± the same length as tube. Petals: wings exceeding keel; keel abruptly rounded about the middle with a short incurved beak. Pod widely cylindrical, abruptly contracted to a stipe, 34-45 mm long, glabrous, 25-40-seeded. Seeds oblong reniform, with small aril, granulate or smooth, dark brown.
An erect herb or shrub. It grows 40-50 cm high. The branches are straight. They are covered with fine hairs. The leaves have 3 leaflets. The leaves are 2.5 cm long. The flowers are brownish-yellow. They are in groups of 5-10 at the ends of branches. The fruit are fattened pods 3.5 cm long and 1.3 cm wide.
Leaves mostly in tufts, 3-foliolate; leaflets mostly (1.5)2–4.5 × 0.4–1.5 cm, linear-oblanceolate to oblanceolate-elliptic, appressed pubescent beneath; petioles mostly a little shorter than leaflets; stipules (3)5–15 × 1–4 mm, shortly stalked, linear-lanceolate to oblong-falcate, very unequal-sided.
Standard subcircular, yellow, sometimes reddish-brown tinged outside, fading orange-red, glabrous outside; wings broad, exceeding the keel; keel 11–14 mm long, abruptly rounded about the middle, with a rather short slightly incurved beak, lanate towards the upper margin.
