It is native to the mountains of southern California and adjacent Baja California, where it grows in dry areas, often in pine forests. It is a perennial herb growing erect to a maximum height of one meter. It is hairy in texture, its newer herbage gray-green in color. Each palmate leaf is divided into up to 12 narrow leaflets up to 8 centimeters long and a few millimeters wide. The inflorescence bears whorls of flowers each over one centimeter long. The flower is purple or blue with a white to yellow patch on its banner. The fruit is a silky-haired legume pod 3 or 4 centimeters long containing speckled seeds.[2]
