Decumbent shrublet, rarely higher than 150 mm, with 200-400 mm long branches; stem base sometimes up to 8 mm thick. Branch-lets tomentose. Leaflets usually 3 to 9 together (i. e. with short-shoots of only up to 2 leaves) on the younger branches, linear, straight or only slightly curved, often somewhat flattened (those of short-shoots subterete), pointed, with sparse, short, spreading hairs. Inflorescence capitate, with 3-12 flowers. Bracts trifoliolate-trilobate, simple from peripheral to central flowers, ± flat, c. 7-9 mm long, with spreadÂing hairs. Bracteoles linear to subfiliform, 5-8 mm long. Calyx long-sericeous, lobes linear, 4-7 mm long. Petals rose-coloured to flesh-coloured. Standard blade c. 7 X 6-7,5 mm long, gradually tapering basally into the claw, sericeous on most of the back. Wing petals long and linear-truncate, 11-12,5 x 2,2-3,2 mm, sericeous only on lower basal portions. Keel blades rostrate, pointed, 7,8-9 x 2,5-3,5 mm, sericeous on lower parts. Pistil sericeous on distal part of ovary and style base. Pod not seen. Figure 63:1-11.
