Diagnostic description

Close to O. hedysaroïdes and O. radicosa in having generally oblong leaflets, however in these two species the petioles are shorter than in O. oblongifolia (the longest being up to 5.5 cm in O. radicosa vs. 7.5 cm in the latter). In all African species of Ophrestia (except O. hedysaroïdes), the leaflets are narrower than in O. oblongifolia (up to 18 mm in O. unifoliolata (Bak.f.) Verdc. compared to up to 2.5 cm). O. oblongifolia also lacks stipels. From: Moteetee, AN; Van Wyk, B-E. 2012. Ophrestia oblongifolia (Phaseoleae) in southern Africa. Bothalia - ABC 42(2,a15): 187-190.
