Crotalaria sessiflora,
an annual herb 20-60cm tall, occurs in sunny, moist, and damp
locations, characterized by numerous long, brown hairs on parts such
as stems or leaves. Leaves are 2.5-10cm long, 4-8cm wide, and
broadly linear-shaped. Flowers, blue-purple, 1cm long, set
themselves on branch tips in a raceme way; calyces are significantly
conspicuous with dense brown hairs, deeply cleft into two, upper
lobes cleft in two anew, and lower lobes in three again. As
flowering is over, the calyxes grow more significantly and entirely
envelop the legumes. Bloom time: July-September. |
