Shortly erect annual, with long decumbent lower branches, hirsute with tawny spreading hairs. Leaves shortly petiolate, 3-foliolate; leaflets very variable, linear-lanceolate to elliptic or obovate, with those of the leading shoot often longer and narrower, mostly 2.5-7.5(41.5) x 1.2-2.5 cm, conspicuously pilose on both surfaces. Stipules filiform, up to 3-4 mm long. Racemes mostly terminal, shortly pedunculate, up to 3-17 cm long, densely many-flowered; bracts filiform, up to 4 mm long; bracteoles inserted at the base of the calyx, similar. Calyx basally truncate and deflexed against the pedicel, 3-4.5 mm long, subglabrous except for scattered bristly hairs along the lobe-margins; lobes acuminately triangular, a little longer than the tube. Standard subcircular, pale yellow, purplish veined; wings usually shorter than the keel; keel rounded about the middle, with a sharp slightly projecting beak, 6.5-8.5 mm long. Legume sessile, subcylindrical, somewhat pointed, 1.6-1.8(-2) cm long, densely covered with long brown spreading hairs over a furry tomentum, ±20-seeded. Seeds oblique-cordiform, ±2.5 mm long, smooth, pale greenish buff, mottled greyish mauve.
An annual shrub. The lower branches hang down. The leaves have short leaf stalks. The leaves are compound with 3 leaflets. The leaflets are 3-8 cm long by 1-3 cm wide. They are narrowly oval. The flowering stalks are short and at the top of the plant. They are 3-17 cm long with many flowers. The flowers are pale yellow with purple veins. The pod does not have a stalk. The pod is 2 cm long and cylinder shaped but with a pint. It is covered with brown hairs. There are about 20 seeds. The seeds are 2.5 mm long.
