A shrublet 0,7-1 m tall with spreading, rigid, pale, frequently thorn-like branches. Young branches short-tomentose. Long-shoot leaves with a 0,5-1,5 mm long, slightly reÂcurved, woody spur or spine at the base. LeafÂlets subfiliform, 1-3,5 mm long, weak, subte-rete, obtuse-subacute, pale green, glabrous or with few hairs. Inflorescence of 1-3 flower(s) situated rather close together on the branch ends. Bract similar to a leaflet of a foliar leaf, filiform-subulate, 3,5-4,5 mm long, someÂtimes supported by a woody spur less than 1 mm long. Pedicel 1,5-2 mm long, tomenÂtose. Bracteoles subulate, 4-5 mm long. Calyx campanulate, tomentose; lobes triangular or narrowly triangular, 1,5-2 mm long, green, often ± recurved, upper deltoid, broader than the lower. Petals light or pale yellow, standard back sometimes ± purplish. Standard blade elÂliptic-ovate, 7,8-9(-10) x 6,2-8(-8,5)mm, tomentose on the back. Wing blades 6-8 x 2,5-3,5 mm, glabrous. Keel blades subros-trate, 8,2-9,5 x 3-3,6 mm. Pistil: ovary tomentose; ovules 4-6; style glabrous; stigma regular, capitate. Pods not seen. Figure 35: 12-22.
