This plant is shrub-like and has a creeping trunk. Thin erect stems grow from it in large numbers, which have a height of 1.5 to 2 meters and a width of 2.5 to 3.5 centimeters. Panicles are collected in the upper part of the stems, consisting of 6 or 7 long-petiolate closely seated vaginal leaflets, painted in green. Over time, they die off and fall off, while ring-shaped traces of a light shade remain on the surface of the stems. Pinnate arcuately recurved leaves have from 12 to 15 pairs of lanceolate-linear lobes, which can reach 20 centimeters in length.
Sufficiently long flower stalks grow from the leaf axils. They bear branched, loose inflorescences in the form of panicles, which consist of fragrant, very small yellow flowers that are shaped like a ball. At the end of flowering, small (no more than 6 millimeters in diameter) round fruits are formed. Ripe fruits are black in color, and each of them contains 1 seed.
