Sophora flavescens, a
perennial herb that inhabits sunny grasslands, riverside fields, and
mountains, grows to 0.8-1.5m in height. The basal part of the stems
produces woody growth, and the plant is covered in many short,
adpressed hairs, similar to those found on its leaves. Branches set
alternate-arranged imparipinnate compound leaves with 7-20 pairs of
2-4cm-long leaflets. Flowers, 1.5-1.8 cm long, are white to light
yellow, occasionally tinged with purple, and are set in racemes.
