Please try our next iteration of the Michigan Flora Online here. Beginning on February 1, 2023, michiganflora.net will point to this new site.

The new site offers several benefits over the existing website, including real coordinate mapping, giving a clearer view of the density of documentation as well as more precision about plant distributions and their link to landforms. We will also have the ability to update species pages more regularly, both in terms of new collections and as more existing Michigan specimens are georeferenced. In addition, we have a better photo display, and offer indented keys.

Desmodium glutinosum of Michigan Flora)

Rich deciduous forests and river-bank thickets to dry upland oak-hickory forests, including disturbed borders.

In material too young (or fragmentary) to display the stalked fruit and mature pedicel, the linear stipules may be present. They are 6.5–10 (–12) mm long (rarely shorter), and the bracts in the inflorescence are similar although a bit shorter. In H. nudiflorum the stipules tend to be deciduous earlier, but are shorter (up to 3.5 mm) and the bracts in the inflorescence are likewise very small.
