Sturdy perennial, 12-80 cm, erect or ascending, sparsely to very densely hairy, subcanescent to sericeous. Leaves with or without tendrils; leaflets 5-12-paired, 5-40 mm, elliptic to linear-lanceolate; stipules semi-hastate, entire. Racemes closely 3-18-flowered, long-peduncled. Flowers large, 17-25 mm, lilac, or violet-blue. Calyx 6-13 mm, scarcely gibbous, purplish, lowest tooth half as long as the tube to about as long. Style dorsally compressed. Legume oblong, 26-35 x7-11 mm, densely adpressed-villous, -pilose or -pubescent, or glabrous with ciliate sutures, several-seeded.
1. Plants adpressed-villous-tomentose, silvery; legume densely adpressed-villous: leaves with or without tendrils
2. Upper leaves with or without a short simple tendril; stipules 1-2 x as wide as the stem
3. Stems 25-35 cm: leaflets 10-40 mm, linear-oblong, mostly obtuse; racemes 6-10-flowered subsp. canescens
3. Stems 12-15 cm; leaflets 5-15 mm, elliptic-lanceolate, acute; racemes 3-5-flowered subsp. argaea
2. Upper leaves with a well-developed simple or 2-3-sect tendril; stipules narrower than the stem or as broad subsp. leucomalla
1. Plants pilose, greenish or canescent; legume densely adpressed-pilose, pubescent, or glabrous with ciliate sutures; leaves with tendrils
4. Stems 3.5-5 mm diam., stout, straight and fistulose: stipules 1-3 x as broad as stems subsp. latistipulata
4. Stems 1.5-3 mm diam., straight or flexuous, ± solid; stipules narrower than the stem or as broad
5. Leaflets all ± linear-lanceolate, those of the lower leaves less acute than those of the upper leaves; stems erect or ascending-erect; tendrils mostly simple subsp. gregaria
5. Leaflets of the lower leaves obovate-oblong, obtuse or retuse, shorter than those of the upper leaves which are elongate and acute; stems flexuous- erect; tendrils mostly 2-3-sect subsp. variegata
2. Upper leaves with or without a short simple tendril; stipules 1-2 x as wide as the stem
3. Stems 25-35 cm: leaflets 10-40 mm, linear-oblong, mostly obtuse; racemes 6-10-flowered subsp. canescens
3. Stems 12-15 cm; leaflets 5-15 mm, elliptic-lanceolate, acute; racemes 3-5-flowered subsp. argaea
