Shrub to 2 m high, with lignotuber. Branchlets terete, smooth or rarely very slightly ridged, with leaf bases not decurrent, sometimes glandular-verrucose, pubescent or with few hairs, with stellate hairs or glabrous. Leaves trifoliolate; petiole 8–26 mm long; central leaflet narrowly elliptic, oblong or lanceolate, 22–70 mm long, 3–15 mm wide, entire, flat to recurved at margins, acute; both surfaces ±glandular-verrucose; adaxial surface glabrous or with a sparse indumentum of stellate and/or simple hairs; abaxial surface glabrous or pubescent to hirsute with scattered stellate hairs, with midrib glandular-verrucose, glabrous or with few hairs to pubescent; secondary venation prominent on abaxial surface. Inflorescences shorter than leaves, to 60-flowered; inflorescence bracts usually scale-like, 1–3 mm long. Sepals 0.8–1.5 mm long, glandular-verrucose, hirsute to glabrous. Petals imbricate, 2–4 mm long, creamy white, very rarely pale pink, glandular-verrucose and tomentose abaxially, sparsely hairy adaxially. Filaments glandular-verrucose apically.
