The leaves are approximately 20cm in length, glossy dark green in colour on the upper surface, paler green on the underside, alternately compound, pinnate, comprised of 3-5 elliptical-oblong leaflets. The herhrodite, aromatic flowers are produced in terminal panicles of rusty-red coloured inflorescences.

In contemporary folklore, the beans are seen as having the ability to bring luck and have even been used in love potions.
