( some larger, some smaller) on slender petioles
about 2cm (some less). Poduncles slender, from
upper axils, now to 1cm long. In some cases longer
than subtending petioles but not longer than
no. Lfts rounded at tip or acuminate mucronate.
St. branching [7-26-38 No flts.] in woods of glens by

All signs point to Desmodium or Lespedeza. (See
very lilac BvBII 417) Clitoria mariana L. but
range seems to put this out of possibility). And
none still pos. as to shape & hairiness here
lfts large enough except this. St slender &
stiff, somewhat grooved, looks glabrous but
has a few scattered spreading hairs. Lfts thin,
the largest 8.5x1.8 cm not a petiole of 4.5cm,
scattered appressed hairs on both surfaces.
