It is closely similar to H. decurrens, but differs in having black coloured bark, densely brown tomentose young shoots, lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate leaflets, sessile or subsessile flowers, large broadly ovate eglandular bracts, connate to middle bracteoles, 1-4 ovuled ovaries and silky tomentose pods with long beak. The IUCN conservation status, ecology, distribution along with a key to the species for the identification of the genus is also provided.
