It is a strongly branching shrub about 1.1 to 1.2 m high with acicular-setose thorns that densely cover the branches. Compound leaves have 3 to 4 bijugate, oblong-ovate leaflets, about 10 to 12 cm long, that are glabrous on the upper sides and with short pubescence along the main vein on the lower side.
