A well-branching tree, reaching a height of 10 m in nature. The trunk diameter is 60-70 cm. They have underground tubers (about 20 cm in diameter). The leaves are alternately arranged, compound, imparipinnate (7-11 leaflets), drooping. The leaves are broadly ovate, green, notched at the apex, 1–2.4 cm long. Inflorescences are racemose, up to 30 cm long. They resemble the inflorescences of white acacia and are sometimes called that by mistake. The flowers are white, less often cream, about 2.5 cm in diameter, fragrant. The petals are lanceolate-shaped, 1.5 cm long and 5-6 mm wide. The sepals are the same color and shape as the petals, with a green base. A good honey plant. It is quite undemanding in terms of soil composition.Heat- and light-loving. USDA Hardiness Zone: 10 (+4°C to -1°C).
