LESPEDEZA
Lespedeza spp., family Leguminosae
Lespedeza is a crop of major importance in southeastern United States. Roughly 164,000 acres were grown for seed production in 1970, producing 36.8 million pounds of seed, valued at $5.2 million. Slightly more than 2 million tons of hay, valued at approximately $50 million, were produced in 1968, the last year the USDA Agricultural Statistics reported on the acreage of this crop.

Lespedeza is grown for hay and pasture, soil improvement, erosion control, seed, and its benefit to wildlife (game birds and deer).

Two types of lespedeza are grown - annual and perennial. The annuals, which are the most important (McKee l948),include 'Common' and 'Kobe' (L. striata (Thunb.) H. and A.) and 'Korean' (L. stipulacea Maxim.) (Elrod 1954). The most common perennial is 'Sericea' (L. cuneata (Dum.) G. Don) also known as shrub lespedeza (fig. 121). Three other perennial or shrub lespedezas, grown to a limited extent, are L. bicolor Turcz., L. intermedia (Wats.) Britt., and L. japonica Bailey.

[gfx] FIGURE 121. - Dense growth of 'Serica' lespedeza, which provides forage and cover for wildlife.

Plant:

The lespedezas are recognized by the small trifoliate leaves, l/4 to l/2 inch long, the individual flowers, and the one-seeded jointless pods. The annual lespedezas are often confused with hop clover although there are important differences. Hop clover seeds germinate in the fall, and the plants stay green throughout the winter and then die in early summer. Lespedeza seeds germinate in the spring, and the plants grow slowly until about the time hop clover dies. Also, the flowers differ in color (Essary 1921, Kinney and Kenney 1925). The plants are slightly spreading to erect, depending upon the thickness of the stem, and from a few inches to several feet tall, depending upon the species. The annuals grow to a height of 5 to 36 inches, depending upon soil moisture and fertility. The bush lespedezas reach 5 to 7 feet. At maturity, the leaves on Korean lespedeza turn forward so the branch tip resembles a cone (McKee 1940). In general, the growth habits of the annual lespedezas are like alfalfa (Pieters 1939a). 'Korean' lespedeza flowers are borne at the end of the branch, 'Common' flowers are borne all along the stem.

Lespedezas are drought-resistant, warm-weather plants. The hay contains less moisture when cut than alfalfa or clover, and can often be removed from the field after 1 day (Wheeler 1950). McKee and Pieters (1937) stated that only one species, L. striata, has been long known to agriculture.

Many cultivars of lespedeza exist. Probably the most extensively grown cvs. are: 'Kobe', 'Teen. 76', 'Harbin', 'Rowan', 'Summit', and 'Iowa Six' (Henson and Cope 1969). Seed production is limited to the southern part of the lespedeza region.

If seed is to be produced, one very early cutting of hay may be removed first, then 100 to 400 pounds of seed are harvested although as much as 1,500 pounds have been harvested (McKee 1940). If grown only for hay, about 1.5 tons per acre are harvested.

Inflorescence:

The flowers of the lespedezas are of two types: petaliferous (or chasmogamous) and apetalous (or cleistogamous). In the latter, the petals never unfold, so the flower has the appearance of remaining in the bud stage and in which only self-fertilization takes place (Pieters 1934). This characteristic, first noted by Torrey and Gray (1840, pp. 366 - 369), has been studied by various workers. In each type of flower, the ovary has only one ovule. The petaliferous flower is similar to the pea flower - small (l/4 to l/2 inch) with blue to purple petals. The flowers are conspicuous in the shrubby species (fig. 122) but are inconspicuous in most of the herbaceous perennials or annuals (McKee 1948). The apetalous flowers are all inconspicuous.

Hanson (1953a) stated that anthesis or opening of the petaliferous flower occurred from 7 to 10 a.m. The flower is open most of the day, closes before night, and generally does not reopen. In these flowers, the filaments of the nine stamens are fused throughout most of their length. The style extends beyond the anthers, permitting cross-pollination. In the apetalous flowers, the style is J-shaped (Clewell 1964), so that the stigma touches one or more anthers and selfing can occur. Hanson (1953b) stated that the ovary is receptive to fertilization 1 or 2 days before anthesis.

Nectar is apparently secreted at the base of the corolla in the petaliferous flowers because bees visit them freely for both nectar and pollen (Mooers and Ogden 1935, Van Haltern 1936, Graetz 1951, Stitt 1946).

The reason for the development of the two kinds of flowers on lespedeza is unknown. Hanson (1943) concluded that temperature is a strong factor because most of the flowers were apetalous on plants grown at 70deg F, but were petaliferous on plants grown at 80deg. He was of the opinion that other factors also had an effect. There seems to be no information indicating that bees ever visit the apetalous flowers.
