Flowers white, pink or purplish, calyx ca. 5 mm long, villous hispid with coarse hairs, divided about halfway, the teeth acuminate subulate; corolla pilose outside, the standard emarginate, about twice as long as the calyx. Fruit linear oblong, 2-3 cm long, ca. 3 mm wide, nearly straight, compressed, falsely septate between the seeds, the beak 1-2 mm long, nearly straight; seeds plump, rectangular, dull greenish, 3 mm long, the hilum circular, located on one edge.

Note Calopogonium galactioides is amply distinct in a number of ways: fasciculate inflorescences, pilose corolla, and glabrous leaflet uppersides as well as in overall appearance which is of a delicate, small leaved vine. It is known in Panama only from western Chiriqui.
Distribution ranges from southern Mexico to northern South America.
