Inflorescence of Egyptian clover
Trifolium alexandrinum L.
The inflorescence of Egyptian clover (Trifolium alexandrinum) is a pseudoterminal head of elongated or ovate-conical shape with creamy-white flowers. This trait is key for varietal identification and assessment of the crop's biological characteristics.
In the reference 5 varieties crop Egyptian clover, where this is mentioned in the description.
The inflorescence of Egyptian clover has the shape of an elongated or ovate-conical pseudoterminal head, comprising on average about 100 flowers of a creamy-white, yellowish-white, or greenish hue. The length of an individual flower is about 12.3 mm, and the number of flowers in one head may vary depending on the variety.
Morphological parameters of the inflorescence, such as head length and width, are used in breeding practice to describe varietal characteristics using the BBCH scale for recording developmental stages. The structure of the inflorescences, which ensures prolonged flowering, determines the high honey-producing value of the crop and is an important factor when assessing seed productivity.
