  • Question

    Hello, again. I came across this plant a couple of days ago in an old deserted sandy parking lot in Sturbridge, MA. It stands about 50 cm tall. Any ideas? Thanks, --Carl

    Answer

    Dear Carl, you have photographed a species of Lespedeza (bush-clover). It looks like you have Lespedeza capitata (round-headed bush-clover), a native species that is found throughout much of New England. Best wishes.
