[2] These racemes arise from the bases of the leaves on stalks, contributing to the plant's distinctive floral display and reproductive structure.

[5] The singular seed is bean-shaped and brown in colour, with hair coverage ranging from dense to scattered.

[6] The flowers of C. pallidum are notable for their dark lavender-purple petals, which bear resemblance to those of Cullen australasicum, albeit with a darker hue.

[7] C. pallidum is listed as threatened and protected under Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988 (FFG) and considered endangered in the Advisory List of Rare or Threatened Plants in Victoria, which states the species is at risk if current land uses and other factors continue to operate, of disappearing from the state.

[3] Several case studies are testing the viability of using Cullen sp., including C. pallidum, as perennial pasture legumes for cropping in the low-rainfall wheatbelt of Western Australia due to their adaptiveness.
