밥티시아 알바- Baptisia alba (L.) Vent.

Baptisia alba, commonly called white wild indigo or white false indigo, is a herbaceous perennial plant in the bean family Fabaceae. It is native in central and eastern North America, and is typically found in open woodland areas and prairies with tall grasslands.

The plant is typically 2 to 3 feet (0.61 to 0.91 m) tall, but can be taller, with white, pealike flowers.

There are two varieties, Baptisia alba var. alba and Baptisia alba var. macrophylla.

Description

Leaves have alternate arrangement, and are trifoliate, narrow, and oblong. The leaves are compound and share a common stalk. White flowers occur from a long spike inflorescence. The white flowers that bloom from the spike inflorescence are Paplilonaceous flowers which are identifiable by their irregular shape and five flower petals that have bilateral symmetry. Blooming occurs from April to July, earlier in the southern part of the range. The species is native to grasslands, but is grown in some gardens. It favors moist soils.

Baptisia alba var. alba (syn. B. pendula) can be differentiated from B. alba var. macrophylla (syn. B. lactea and B. leucantha) on the basis that the former occurs only in the southeastern US and has fruits that hang downward when ripe.

Baptisia alba is described as a facultative upland plant in all parts of its range.
