I recognized the pea flowers right away and went to the Fabaceae (Pea Family) key
to find out the genus of this plant. Fortunately, I was able to skip over much
of the Fabaceae key due to this plant having leaves with three leaflets that are
toothed.
- Leaf blades compound.
- Leaf blades palmately compound or with 3 or fewer leaflets.
- Plants herbaceous or sub-woody.
- Leaves pinnately or palmately compound with 3 or fewer leaflets.
- Leaflets toothed, at least minutely in the apical portion.
- Stipules entire (untoothed) and 1-nerved (1 vein). [Go to Melilotus Key.]
- Corollas yellow or white 4-7 mm long. Inflorescence 3-12 cm long.
- Corolla yellow, 5-7 mm long.
