Herbarium specimens gathered at different seasons have strikingly different 
facies owing to the change in hairiness of the leaflets. In June, when the 
flowers are in bud and the fruit ripe, the leaflets are softly velvety beneath, 
but they become quite glabrous and glaucous beneath by the time the flowers 
are expanded in December.
