Its leaves are pinnate with five to ten pairs of elliptic to egg-shaped leaflets that are Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. The leaves are on a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long with stipules Шаблон:Cvt long at the base, and the leaflets are on petiolules Шаблон:Cvt long. The flowers are borne on racemes of four to more than one hundred, on a peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, each flower on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long. There are bracts and bracteoles that fall at the bud stage. The sepals are fused at the base with lobes Шаблон:Cvt long. The standard petal and wings are yellow to orange and Шаблон:Cvt long, and the keel creamy yellow and Шаблон:Cvt long.

The original description included features that apply to the more recently described G. oreophilum.[2]
