| Action: changed name from "Medicago lupulina" to "Trifolium sp.

| Reviewer's comments: | | | | "This is clearly Trifolium, not Medicago. The number of flowers per flower head would be very small for Medicago lupulina. The typical pointed leaflet tips (not just hairs!) cannot be seen (even on the enlarged images accompanying this one; for real Medicago lupulina see e. g. http://calphotos.berkeley.edu/cgi/img_query?enlarge=0000+0000+0503+0252 ) and the flower pedicels are longer than in Medicago lupulina and even visible on http://calphotos.berkeley.edu/cgi/img_query?enlarge=0000+0000+0906+0904 , which I have never seen with real Medicago lupulina. Nevertheless I am not entirely sure that this is Trifolium dubium, because some of the standards in the enlarged versions look slightly furrowed, but this is the closest species I know." |
