Crotalaria sessiflora, an annual
herb 20-60cm tall, occurs in sunny, moist, and damp locations,
characterized by numerous long, brown hairs on stems and 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. |
