Its leaves are reduced to erect, cylindrical phyllodes Шаблон:Cvt wide and about Шаблон:Cvt wide with a more or less sharply-pointed tip. The flowers are yellow with a red tinge, arranged in groups of four to six in leaf axils on a peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, each flower on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long with oblong bracts at the base. The sepals are Шаблон:Cvt long, the two lobes about Шаблон:Cvt long and joined in a broad "lip" and the lower three smaller and triangular. The standard petal is elliptic with a notched tip, Шаблон:Cvt long, the wings oblong and about Шаблон:Cvt long and the keel Шаблон:Cvt long. Flowering mainly occurs from November to May and the fruit is a triangular pod Шаблон:Cvt long.[1][2]
