Herbs, sometimes somewhat suffrutescent, (0.5–)0.8–6(10) dm. Stems usually erect, sometimes laxly so (rarely procumbent), hairs incurved (rarely glabrate). Leaves: blade ovate, elliptic, spatulate, or linear proximally, to elliptic, lanceolate, or linear distally (often longer than proximal ones), 4–45(–65) × 1.5–4(–6) mm, base usually acute, sometimes cuneate or obtuse, apex acute to acuminate or obtuse, surfaces not translucent-punctate, hairs incurved. Inflorescences terminal or leaf-opposed, racemes, loose, 2–12 × 0.9–1.4 cm; peduncle 0.5–1.5 cm; bracts linear to narrowly ovate. Pedicels 1–5 mm, pubescent. Flowers purplish, wings rarely yellow, keel distally yellow or yellowish green, 3.5–6 mm; sepals lanceolate, 2.2–3.5 mm; wings ovate to suborbiculate, 3.5–5.5 × 2.4–4 mm, sparsely pubescent; keel 4–5.7 mm, pubescent. Capsules oblong, oblong-ovoid, broadly ellipsoid, or subglobose, 5–10(–11) ×4–7 mm, not translucent-punctate, glabrous and ciliolate, margins sometimes narrowly winged.
