Forget flowers, its the colourful seed pods that look a bit like hops used to flavour beer that make these plants distinctive. Much branched, dense low shrub to 1m high. Leaves with up to 3 pairs of round leaflets, sticky. Separate inconspicuous male and female flowers. Seeds enclosed in a colourful 3 or 4-winged capsule. Growing in stony area.
