Its phyllodes are scattered, cylindrical, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt long and sharply pointed. The flowers are arranged in leaf axils in up to three groups of two to ten flowers on a peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, the rachis up to Шаблон:Cvt wide, each flower on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long with spatula-shaped bracts Шаблон:Cvt long at the base. The sepals are Шаблон:Cvt long and joined at the base, the upper two lobes longer than the lower three. The standard petal is egg-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long, Шаблон:Cvt wide, and yellow with a maroon base. The wings are Шаблон:Cvt long and maroon, the keel about Шаблон:Cvt long and maroon. Flowering occurs in August and September and the fruit is an inflated egg-shaped pod Шаблон:Cvt long.[2][1][3]
