Lespedeza virgata: A deciduous shrub that grows in
sunny, dry grasslands on hills to low hills, reaching 30-60cm in
height; however, it is seemingly a herb. Stems are stiff and
slender, with adpressed hairs. Leaves, ternate compounds, are
alternate; leaflets measure 0.7-2.5cm long and 0.5-1.5cm wide,
oblong-shaped, with tips round with slight depressions and acicular
projections. Axils produce stalks that generate short racemes with
2-5, 6-7mm long, dark white, papilionaceous flowers. Calyxes, 4-5mm
long, are tinged red and cleft in five; the segments are lanceolate,
and the tips extend to become pointed in a needleway. Bloom time:
August-September. |
