Decumbent to erect suffrutex 100-200 mm tall, much branched, densely leafy. Stems slender, terete to strongly ribbed, angular, or longitudinally wrinkled, scattered with pearl bodies; moderately to densely strigose with spreading biramous hairs often crisped at the tips; reddish-brown, becoming woody below; a rhizomatous colony, diffusely branching from an indistinct woody rootstock. Leaves alternate, digitately (3)5-7-foliolate, petiole 1.5-5 mm long, deeply channelled above, scattered with pearl bodies at base of leaflets. Stipules 1.5-5 mm long, (0.75)1-1.6 mm wide, triangular to obliquely ovate-lanceolate, acuminate; amplexicaule, leaving annular sheath around stems, ± membranaceous. Stipels absent. Terminal leaflet (2.5)4-10 mm x (1)1.5-3 mm, obovate to oblanceolate, apex rounded, apiculate, often complicate; sparsely to moderately spreading or appressed strigose on both surfaces, hairs often coarser above than below, secondary venation ± prominent below; margins somewhat thickened, often appearing slightly involute; lateral leaflets similar. Racemes 25-120 mm long, many times longer than the subtending leaf, including a peduncle of 15-50 mm, moderately to densely strigose, scattered with pearl bodies; ± 12-35 flowered; bracts 3-4 mm long x ca. 1.5 mm, ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, caducous. Pedicels 0.5-2 mm long, reflexed. Flowers 6-7.5 mm long. Corolla deep pink, darker wine-red in bud. Calyx 2-3 mm long, lobes triangular to lanceolate, 1-2 mm long, ± equaling to twice as long as the tube, ± sparsely to densely strigose. Standard 5.5-6 mm x 5.5-6.5 mm, broadly obovate, tapering to a short claw at the base; blade sharply reflexed upwards for distal half of length; apex round to emarginate, dorsal surface glabrous, often with translucent, short stripes. Wings 5.5-6.5 mm long, unguiculate, shortly clawed at base, asymmetrically obovate towards apex. Keel petals 5-6 mm long, valvately connate distally, lateral spurs to 1 mm long, distal margin curving upwards to base of the keel to an obtuse apex; claws ±2 mm long, broadening from the base. Stamens 4.5-5.5 mm long, alternately long and short, the 9 fused stamens free for ±1 mm distally; anthers uniform. Ovary glabrous, stigma capitate. Pods 17-25 mm long, up to 3.5 mm wide, cylindrical, reddish-brown, glabrous, explosively dehiscent with the valves twisting. Seeds 4-5, 3 x 2 mm, subcylindrical, green. The species is named for the Asante Sana Private Game Reserve, the owners and managers of which have been generous and instrumental in facilitating biodiversity research in the Sneeuberg. The known range of this species is almost entirely confined to this property.
