Perennial herbs or subshrubs, with odd pinnate lvs., and often showy racemes of red, purple or white, small pea-like fls.: calyx 5-cleft, the teeth nearly equal and pointed; standard obcordate or obovate; keel nearly straight and longer than the wings; stamens 9 and 1: fr. a flattened jointed pod.—Very closely allied to Desmodium, but the latter genus has 3-foliate lvs. Many of the hedysarums are attractive border plants. They are of easiest cult, in a light and open, well-drained soil. Give a sunny place; hardy. Prop, by division and seeds. For the sainfoin, sometimes known as H. onobrychis, see Onobrychis.
