Leaves 24-50 mm long (x = 34 mm), 15-25 mm apart; leaflets 12.4-20.4 x 3-7.4 mm, 3-11-jugate, elliptic to oblong-elliptic, apex rounded to retuse, base usually cuneate, sometimes very broadly attenuate, upper surface glabrous, lower surface strigose or occasionally strigoso-tomentose; stipules 3.6-6.4 x 1-2 mm, narrowly oblong elliptic, acute, glabrescent or glabrous. Inflorescence 15-40 mm long (x = 29 mm); peduncles strigose or softly and finely hairy, usually shorter than the leaves, with 3-11 flowers (x = 9) often crowded together near apex of peduncle.
