August 3, 2010 Southeastern, New Hampshire 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.
