Botanic information
Leaf: The glossy mid green pinnate leaves are up to 500 mm (20 in) long with a slender wiry petiole and are divided into 7-17 ovate leaflets that are up to 100 mm (4 in) long. The leaflets have an abrupt acuminate apex and a cordate base with spiny-serrated margins and the underside is softly pubescent. The new growth is copper tinted and becomes a mid-green then is bronze tinted during autumn.

Flower: The yellow-pinkish spurless crateriform flowers are up to 10 mm (? in) wide with spreading reddish sepals and yellow petals with exserted stamens. They are arranged on a wiry pedestal in a open raceme that is held above the foliage on a slender scape and appear during mid to late spring.

Fruit: The small capsule produces tiny seeds that are viable but the plant is normally reproduced vegetatively to maintain true to type.
