Stipules spinescent, straight or nearly so, slightly ascending to slightly deflexed, on mature shoots (0.4–)1–3.5 cm. long (to 4.5 cm. on robust apparently juvenile shoots); “ant-galls” and other prickles absent. Leaves: rhachis 0.5–4.5 cm. long, pubescent or tomentose; pinnae (3–)4–10 pairs; leaflets 6–15(–20) pairs, 0.75–3.5 mm. long, 0.5–1.5 mm. wide, usually ciliate or pubescent. Flowers white, in heads on axillary, tomentose or densely pubescent, eglandular peduncles 0.4–1.5 cm. long; involucel basal or in lower half of peduncle. Calyx 1–2 mm. long. Corolla 2.5–3 mm. long; lobes densely white-pubescent outside. Pods (Fig. 17/62, A & B, p. 68) falcate to straight or nearly so, thick and woody, ultimately dehiscent, 7–13(–15) cm. long, 1.3–2.5 cm. wide, densely velvety-pubescent or tomentellous, brown to brownish-crimson, longitudinally veined, not winged.
