Stem terete, 2–3 feet tall, branched, greenish, prickly,
hairy—as are the petioles, peduncles, pedicels, and calyces—with long
ash-colored hairs that are stellate at the tip. Leaves pinnatifid, with sinuate
lobes; hairy on both sides (especially beneath) with sessile,
sub-simple stellate hairs; nerved beneath; sparsely prickly. Petioles
sub-terete, hairy. Prickles subulate, straight, yellow, slender,
needle-like, unequal. Racemes lateral, simple. Peduncles terete, long;
pedicels small, one-flowered. Calyx villous, prickly; initially 5-cleft,
with acute, nearly unarmed lobes; enlarging after flowering,
5-toothed, heavily prickly, with longer prickles. Corolla large,
yellow, hairy on the outside, slightly irregular, semi-5-cleft,
with rather acute lobes. Anthers yellow, horn-shaped; one very large,
greatly elongated, and curved. Berry globose, twice the size of a chickpea,
closely enclosed by the enlarged calyx.
