Baptisia Ventenat. Wild Indigo.

Key to Baptisia

A genus of about 20 species (and additional infraspecific taxa), perennial herbs, of temperate e. and c. North America.

ID notes:Many of our species hybridize when they grow in proximity; these hybrids are generally recognizable (especially in context with their parents) by their intermediate morphology. Many additional hybrids have been created by plant breeders and may be found in cultivation.
