Species

Angiosperms > Fabales > Fabaceae > Lotononis

Characteristics

L. virgata is similar to L. lotononoides but differs in the more virgate habit, the denser and more appressed vestiture, the narrower, oblanceolate (not obovate) leaflets, the invariably terminal inflorescences, the much shorter calyx lobes and the ± white, not blue flowers. It is also similar to L. viminea, but differs from this species in the smaller habit, the presence of stipules, the shorter and more appressed vestiture.
