 foliage is deep green with the leaflets smooth and polished on the upper surface. The 

 greenish-yellow flowers, in cylindrical open spikes, are not very conspicuous, but the 

 pods are produced in large clusters and the exposed surfaces show bright scarlet for a 

 long time before maturing. The pods contain a high percentage of tannin.
