Lotus gebelia subsp. libanoticus

الوصف النباتي

الأوراق

Leaves: Leaflets triangular-obovate, more or less tipped with a small point; leaf stalk shorter than the lower, stipule-like leaflets.

الأزهار

Inflorescence & flowers: Axillary stalks bear 2–5 pink flowers. In the broader species account, the calyx teeth equal the tube and narrow from a lanceolate base to a slender point; the large obovate standard accompanies a keel bent at a very obtuse angle and purple at its tip. Mouterde questions earlier claims that libanoticus consistently has smaller, paler flowers, shorter calyx teeth and longer flower stalks.

الثمار والبذور

Fruit: Keeled, slightly flattened pods, often constricted between the seeds.
