This species is an erect, hairy perennial with a robust stem 30-60 cm high. The leaves are compound with 15-30 leaflets which are longer than wide, and can be opposite or alternate. Its bright yellow flowers are arranged in three to nine clusters, growing from the leaf axils. The flowering period is between March and April.
