Thank you for your edit, because it made me look at my own recent post of owl's clover (http://tinyurl.com/y49ndja). I believe both names are perfectly acceptable common names; although I wonder if what you have may be C. brevistyla (http://tinyurl.com/y7n37kz).
ReplyDeleteAh, re: common names (therein lies the rub of common names...they're so many!). Good to know.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you re: C. brevistyla--flower (actual flower part) looks much closer. I am SO not an expert in these, and haven't had time to look closely, but I think you're id is much closer. Thanks very much.
