Yellowish-white flowers, about a quarter of an inch long, and with a purplish-rose spot on the standard petal to serve as a pathfinder to the nectary, are crowded in oblong spikes an inch and a half long or less on the HAIRY BUSH CLOVER (L. hirta). The stem, which may attain four feet, or half that height, is usually branched; and the entire plant is often downy to the point of silkiness. Dense clusters of the yellowish-white flowers of the ROUND-HEADED BUSH CLOVER (L. capitata) are seated in the upper axils of the silvery-hairy, wand-like stem. Pink streaks at the base of the standard petal serve as pathfinders, and its infolded edges guide the bee's tongue straight to the opening in the stamen tube through which he sucks.
