Its sepals are oblong and measure 7–9 mm long and 2–3 mm wide. Its petals are yellow, lingulate to spatulate, and measure 10–12 mm long and 3–4 mm wide. Its pedicels are ascending, and measure 1-1.5 cm long. Its siliques are didymous, densely pubescent, and can grow up to 1.5 cm high. Its replum can be pubescent or glabrous, and it measures 4–5 mm long. Its immature seeds are wingless and plump. [3]
