Appearance and leaves

They are perennial herbaceous plants or shrubs .

The alternate leaves consist of a petiole and a leaf blade. The leaf blade is unpaired pinnate with three pinnate leaves, or rarely reduced to one pinnate leaf. In some species the rhachis leaf is greatly shortened and the leaves appear to be divided into hands . The leaflets are opposite to each other on the rachis. Sometimes the leaf is reduced to a leaflet. There are stipules , but no stipules of the leaflets.

Inflorescences and flowers

Terminal racemose inflorescences are formed.

The hermaphrodite flowers are zygomorph are fünfzählig double perianth (perianth). The five sepals are arranged like roof tiles in the flower buds. The corolla has the typical structure of the Pea family with five petals . The stamens of the nine or ten stamens are all free or rarely two to three are fused together in the uppermost area. The dust bags are all the same. The only upper carpel contains one to many ovules . The upper part of the stylus is usually bare and directed upwards.

Fruits and seeds

The elongated, flattened or spherical legumes contain one to many seeds. The elongated kidney-shaped, ellipsoidal to disk-shaped seeds have a small hilum .
