The Sensitive Partridge Pea grows in a rosette. Each stem, whether it is a main
stem or branching stem, contains alternate leaves and each leaf contains
6-15 pairs of pinnately-compound leaflets. The yellow flowers hang from short
axillary pedicels (stem that attaches single flowers to a main stem). The leaflets
of the leaves tend to be “sensitive” in that they fold together when
touched.
