Information

Spreading annual 20–40 cm. tall. Stems reddish, softly setose, with some dark, but many more white, rather spreading hairs. Stipules linear, setose, up to 5 mm. long, with a tuft of minute red glandular hairs at their base; leaf-rhachis up to 5 cm. long, including a petiole of up to 1 cm., prolonged 2–10 mm. beyond lateral leaflets; petiolules pilose, 1.5 mm. long, with similar red glandular hairs at their base; leaflets 5–9, opposite, elliptic-oblong, rounded and apiculate at the tip, up to 22 mm. long and 9 mm. wide. Racemes softly pilose with mainly white hairs, up to 18 cm. long, including a peduncle of up to 3 cm., ± secund in fruit; bracts linear-lanceolate, up to 4 mm. long, very caducous; pedicels up to 1.5 mm. long, spreading in fruit. Calyx pilose, with spreading hairs up to 1 mm. long chiefly white in colour; tube ± 0.5 mm. long; lobes almost filiform, up to 3.5 mm. long. Corolla irregularly white pubescent outside. Filaments crimson, 4–4.5 mm. long. Style ± 3.5 mm. long, curved through more than 90° about 2.5 mm. from the base; stigma depressed-globose, about twice as wide as the style. Pod elliptic-oblong, 7–8 mm. long, 3 mm. wide, 3 mm. thick, setose both with soft white hairs and fewer stiffer blackish hairs; endocarp strongly spotted. Seeds 2, grey, ± cuboid, deeply pitted.
