Shrub to 1 m high. Branchlets ±terete, weakly glandular-verrucose, densely hairy with mainly simple and bifid (also trifid and stellate) hairs between faint decurrent leaf bases, otherwise glabrous, rarely pilose. Leaves trifoliolate; petiole 1–3 mm long, weakly glandular-verrucose; central leaflet narrowly elliptic to narrowly oblanceolate, 6–18 mm long, 1.5–4 mm wide, slightly glandular-dentate, recurved to revolute at margins, acute; midrib raised abaxially and weakly to strongly glandular-verrucose; both surfaces with few hairs on midvein and at tip or sparsely pilose, with tufts of simple hairs at join of leaflets and petiole. Inflorescences shorter to longer than leaves, 1–3 (–9)-flowered. Sepals 1–1.5 mm long, sparsely to moderately densely stellate-hairy both sides. Petals valvate or slightly imbricate, 3.5–4.5 mm long, pale pink, moderately to densely stellate-hairy on both surfaces. Filaments slightly glandular-verrucose at apex. Immature cocci slightly glandular-verrucose, glabrous or sparsely pilose dorsally.
