Description

The plant stems are 5–60 centimetres (2.0–23.6 in) long and are erect. Leaves grow in 2-4 pairs and are 0.8–2.2 millimetres (0.031–0.087 in) long and membranous with 1.2–20 millimetres (0.047–0.787 in) by 0.8–7 millimetres (0.031–0.276 in) long obovate and spatulate leaflets.

The plant flowers in spring when the Inflorescence carries 4-12 flowers that have a 1.5–3.5 millimetres (0.059–0.138 in) long peduncle which have ascending 0.4 millimetres (0.016 in) bracteoles and are often deciduous. Pedicels are 1–3.5 millimetres (0.039–0.138 in) long with 2–4 millimetres (0.079–0.157 in) long calyx that is glabrous. The Corolla is yellow in colour while the keels that are 4–6.5 millimetres (0.16–0.26 in) by 1.5–2.1 millimetres (0.059–0.083 in) have one awn that is 2–2.5 millimetres (0.079–0.098 in) long. The Fruits are 10–45 millimetres (0.39–1.77 in) in length and are straight, containing 1–1.1 millimetres (0.039–0.043 in) by 3–3.8 millimetres (0.12–0.15 in) transverse to ovoid seeds of a yellowish-brown colour.[1]

gollark: I'm not sure that's accurate, inasmuch as some of the time some sides don't actually appear to be acting according to whatever values are claimed.
gollark: I mean, food waste's not great, but it's not as if we could just conveniently ship it continents away to help people.
gollark: I don't think you can reasonably blame all preventable-with-more-resources-somewhere deaths everywhere on capitalism.
gollark: Because communism has always worked, and it's not like there's been a general increase in standards of living or anything.
