Shrub to 0.5 m high. Branchlets ±terete, without or with slightly decurrent leaf bases, slightly glandular-verrucose, sparsely stellate-hairy. Leaves trifoliolate; petiole 8–11 mm long; central leaflet narrowly elliptic to narrowly lanceolate, 20–33 mm long, 4–6 mm wide, obtuse to acute, flat to recurved or slightly revolute at margins; adaxial surface sparsely pilose with mainly simple and bifid hairs; abaxial surface with sparse simple, bifid and stellate hairs, with midrib strongly raised, very slightly glandular-verrucose. Inflorescences shorter than leaves, 8–25+-flowered. Sepals c. 1 mm long, slightly glandular-verrucose, with scattered appressed simple hairs adaxially and moderately dense stellate hairs abaxially. Petals imbricate, 2.1–2.5 mm long, white, densely stellate-tomentose both sides. Filaments with minute, simple hairs, weakly glandular-verrucose near tip. Cocci (only seen very immature) with scattered stellate hairs.
