Lotus (Fabaceae) 1:162

Lotus corniculatus

L. corniculatus

L. australis

 
Tasmania has one native and four introduced species of Lotus. The leaves of these herbs are reasonably distinctive - they have five leaflets, of which two are at the base. The other three are at the end of the petiole. It would be possible to misinterpret these leaves as trifoliate leaves with two basal stipules.
