Lespedeza cuneata is a perennial herb that occurs in sunny grasslands or roadsides. Stems grow to 0.6-1m height and somewhat lignify with adpressed hairs. Leaves comprise three leaflets that densely attach to the branches. The leaflets are 1-2.5cm long, 2-4mm wide, in a cuneate to oblanceolate shape, with adpressed hairs on the back surfaces. Flowers, yellow-white and 6-7mm long, set themselves some each at an axil. Legumes are flatly circular or broad oblong. Bloom time: August-October.
