 Accession Data:- Accession # 199500103
- Source: Unknown
- Provenance: Plant previously labelled Clitoria terneata, but determined to be an incorrect ID - not sure what it is at this point, but very interesting morphology with enclosed stamens emerging from tube when petals separated as might occur if a larger insect / small bird were to perch on petals.
Inspection of photos by Paul Franz at NC State suggest this is definitely not a Clitoria, but a member of the Phaseolus-Macroptilium complex. For the time being we will list it as Phaseolus sp.
