Prostrate, ascending or suberect pyrophytic herb or subshrub, with several to many unbranched or sparsely branched stems 10-45(80) cm long from a woody rootstock. Stems of few to many internodes, with dense covering of short pubescence and longer spreading ferruginous rather bristly hairs. Leaflets 3, often paler beneath, 2.7-9.5(10.5) x 1.1-2.2(3.3) cm, elliptic to narrowly oblong or obovate, rounded and mucronulate or rarely subacute at the apex, ± rounded or cuneate at the base, softly pubescent and glandular on both surfaces or sometimes with dense grey felted indumentum beneath; venation usually impressed above and raised beneath; nerves often reddish beneath; petioles 2.7 mm long; rhachis 4.5-8 mm long; petiolules c. 2 mm long; stipules 6-10 x 1.5-2.5 mm, lanceolate, hairy, veined. Racemes axillary, the flowering part 1.5-3 x 2.3 cm; peduncle (1)3-16 cm long, with spreading pubescence; pedicels c. 1.5 mm long; bracts eventually falling, 5 x 1 mm, lanceolate, hairy. Calyx with covering of long and short hairs and glands, 6-8.5 mm long; lobes lanceolate, acute, c. 1-2 times as long as the tube. Standard red outside and yellow inside or all yellow, 0.95-1.45 cm x (4.5) 5-7.5 mm, obovate-oblong, relatively sparsely hairy in central area only or pubescent all over the outside, glandular; wings yellow; keel cream-coloured. Pods 1.5-2 x 0.9-1.25 cm, elliptic, covered with long ferruginous hairs, short hairs and glands. Seeds brown, densely speckled black, 5.5 x 4 x 2 mm, oblong; rim aril cream-coloured.
