1. Indigofera leaves: Deciduous shrub, 1-2m tall. The young branches are green or purplish-green, with prominent leaf scars. Leaves are alternate; petioles are 1-5cm long; stipules are linearly divided; leaf blades are ovate or ovate-elliptic, rarely lanceolate, 3-13cm long, 1.5-9cm wide, gradually pointed at the apex, nearly round or broadly wedge-shaped at the base, with fine serrations on the margins and spine-like teeth near the base. The flowers are dioecious; male flowers are densely clustered in umbels of about 5-12 flowers; female flowers have stalks, solitary or clustered in 2-3 flowers on the midrib or near the base of the upper surface of the leaf; petals 3-5, triangular-ovate; male flowers have 3-5 stamens, located inside the floral disc; female flowers have inferior ovaries with 3-5 chambers, and 3-5 divided styles. The fruit is nearly spherical, turning black when ripe, with 3-5 ridges. Flowering occurs from April to May, and fruiting occurs from August to September.2. Indigofera leaves from the Western Regions: Also known as Tibetan Indigofera leaves or Himalayan Indigofera leaves. The main differences from Indigofera leaves are: the leaves are thick and papery, elongate-elliptic or elongate-lanceolate, 5-18cm long, 2.5-5cm wide, tapering to a tail-like point at the tip; stipules are often 2-3 lobed, rarely unlobed. Flowering occurs from April to May, and fruiting occurs from August to October.3. Chinese Indigofera leaves: Also known as Longleaf Flower, Flower Snake Grass, or Tibetan Flower. The main differences from the previous two species are: the leaves are leathery or nearly leathery, rarely papery, with petioles 3-4cm long; stipules are slender; leaf blades are linear-lanceolate or lanceolate, 4-15cm long, 0.4-2cm wide, with sparse linear teeth along the margins.
