Flower clusters exceptionally long, with the individual flowers widely spaced along the stem. Leaflets 11-17, pale bronze when young. Flower clusters 0.5-1 m long, occasionally more. Flowers with the standard pale violet with a yellow blotch, wings and keel a darker tone. Pods 11-20 cm long. Many names have been given to exceptional plants with long flower clusters, but the length of the clusters may vary with the season and locality and it is uncertain whether they are distinct cultivars. Perhaps the best known of these is 'Multijuga' which was named by Louis van Houtte in 1873. Until such time as clear distinguishing descriptions are drawn up, this name is used in a broad sense to cover a host of possible variants. ['Longissima', 'Multijuga']
