Each palmate leaf is divided into up to 12 narrow leaflets up to 8 centimeters long and a few millimeters wide. The inflorescence bears whorls of flowers each over one centimeter long. The flower is purple or blue with a white to yellow patch on its banner. The fruit is a silky-haired legume pod 3 or 4 centimeters long containing speckled seeds. [2] The bloom period is in the months of June, July, and August. The elevation is between 3115 and 9645 feet or 950 and 2940 meters. The growing season is between 1 and 5 months. The wet season is between 4 and 7 months. It is a host for species of butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, including the Arrowhead Blue butterfly.
