The hermaphrodite, zygomorphic flowers are five-fold with a double flower envelope . The five sepals are only briefly fused, bell-shaped, the one with five sepals . The corolla has the typical shape of a butterfly flower. The flag is oblong to obovate. The shuttle is bent upwards and ends bluntly. The nailed (abruptly narrowed at the base) wings are elongated, eyelet and they adhere to the shuttle. Nine of the ten stamens have grown together.

Systematics

The genus Lespedeza belongs to the subtribe Lespedezinae from the tribe Desmodieae in the subfamily Faboideae within the family Fabaceae . A synonym for Lespedeza Michx. is Despeleza Nieuwl.

The French botanist, traveler and plant collector André Michaux gave the genus its name in honor of the Spanish governor of Florida, Vincente Manuel de Céspedes (1746-1802). Since an 'L' was transferred instead of the first letter 'C', the name Lespedeza was created .
