Leaves aggregated at branch tips, 20–120 × 3–13 mm, without distinct petiole, narrowly elliptic-lanceolate, acute, usually entire, densely pubescent with medifixed hairs only. Racemes on lateral shoots 5–25-flowered, simple or with 1 or 2 short branches. Sepals erect, the outer saccate at base. Petals 19–22 mm, pale or usually bright yellow. Siliquae from an erecto-patent pedicel forming an angle of 5°–20° with the axis, (20–)40–65 × 2.5–4.5 mm, flat, with dense, medifixed hairs; valves with inconspicuous midvein; style 1.5–3 mm, slender.
