Tephrosia stormsii

Annual with a taproot and rather slender branched glabrous or sparsely hairy stems, up to 150 cm. tall. Leaves (l–)5–9(–13)-foliolate; stipules linear, up to 18 mm. long; rhachis sparsely pubescent, up to 18 cm. long, the petiole, except in the lower few-foliolate leaves, much shorter than the rest of the rhachis; leaflets linear to linear-oblong or the lower ones ± elliptic, up to 10 or sometimes 20 cm. long, usually under 5, sometimes up to 12, mm. wide, glabrous above, appressed pubescent beneath, the hairs not hiding the surface; lateral nerves very numerous. Flowers in long stiff lax terminal or axillary pseudoracemes, the leaves subtending the upper axillary pseudoracemes often reduced to bracts so that the inflorescence becomes compound; bracts narrowly triangular, 2–5 mm. long, caducous; pedicels 4–8 mm. Calyx pubescent, 3–6 mm. long; teeth triangular, about as long as the tube. Flowers and fruit as in T. lurida.
