Leaflets linear-pinoid, 7—15 mm long, ± incurved, weak, subterete or ± angular, acute, subglabrous or ciliate. Inflorescences compact, subglobose, head-like umbels of 10-30 flowers. Bract fused to the pedicel, emerging near the calyx, elliptic or narrowly obovate, 6,5-8,5 x 3,2-5 mm, carnose, tomentose on base and margins, otherwise glabrous. Pedicel 4-6 mm long, tomentose. Bracteoles linear, 5-7,5 X 1-1,8 mm. Calyx tomentose on the base, otherwise glabrous; lobes ovate, 4-5,5 x 2-3,5 mm, acute, carnose, veiny. Petals carnose, bright yellow. Standard blade 10-12 x 8-9 mm, carnose, keeled along the mid vein, acute-acuminate, basally puberulous on the back, otherwise glabrous. Wing blades lunulate-rostrate, 9,2-10,2 X 3,5-4,2 mm, basally ciliate below, otherwise glabrous. Keel rostrate; blades 9-10 mm long, 3-4 mm broad, almost pointed, ciliate above and (basally) below, otherwise glabrous. Pistil pubescent on the upper basal parts of the ovary; ovules 2; curved. Pod ovate, c. 7 X 3,5 mm, nearly black. Figure 72:16-23.
