Its palmate leaves are composed of 5 to 9 wide leaflets that range from 2 to 4 centimeters long. The inflorescence is a raceme of numerous flowers, often arranged in whorls, and displays a captivating light purple hue with white accents. As the plant ages, its fruit develops into a somewhat hairy legume pod that can reach lengths of up to 7 centimeters, darkening in color over time.
