Christmas bush is characterized by its semi-evergreen nature, primarily presenting as a shrub or small tree with an upright growth habit. Its identifying feature is the profusion of bright yellow flowers that adorn the plant during the fall and winter months, a period when most other species are not in bloom. The leaves are likely pinnate with multiple leaflets, as is common for the Fabaceae family. The plant typically thrives in well-lit environments and can be spotted by its distinctive coloration during its flowering phase.
