Description
Species Description - Like the Argentinian A. robusta, an erect herb with an elongate simply racemose inflorescence with a well-developed peduncle, and relatively large and rather shallowly incised leaflets. It differs from A. robusta in the 5-11-foliolate leaves with narrower much more evenly incised oblanceolate leaflets. It has the long linear capsule (35-70 cm long) of the A. radiata group and is morphologically rather intermediate between A. robusta and A. adscendens.
