Prairie Clovers - Dalea sp.

Continuing on with the Bean Family, I present two species of Prairie Clover common in pristine tall-grass prairie. As with lead plant, these two species are high in protein and tasty to cattle, and will be depleted in lands that are over-grazed.


White Prairie Clover - Dalea candida



Purple Prairie Clover - Dalea purpurea


Both captured on 7/8/21 at a privately owned prairie near Topeka, KS.
