A liana up to 16 m long, root reddish-brown, apical shoots often leafless for several m and rusty pubescent; leaflets 7-15, mostly densely rusty hairy on both surfaces when young; inflorescence axillary or fascicled on older branches; flowers with rusty pubescent calyx and pinkish corolla, standard with basal callosities, rusty silky hairy; fruit oblong or oblong-elliptical, with a narrow wing along both sides.
