The plant flowers in spring when the Inflorescence carries 4-12 flowers that have a 1.5–3.5 millimetres (0.059–0.138 in) long peduncle which have ascending 0.4 millimetres (0.016 in) bracteoles and are often deciduous. Pedicels are 1–3.5 millimetres (0.039–0.138 in) long with 2–4 millimetres (0.079–0.157 in) long calyx that is glabrous. The Corolla is yellow in colour while the keels that are 4–6.5 millimetres (0.16–0.26 in) by 1.5–2.1 millimetres (0.059–0.083 in) have one awn that is 2–2.5 millimetres (0.079–0.098 in) long.
