In the reference 10 varieties crop Crimson clover, where this is mentioned in the description.
The inflorescence of crimson clover is a characteristic morphological feature of the species. It is located at the tips of the stems, has an upright form, and a high flower density. When describing varieties, the shape, color of the corolla, and linear dimensions of the head are recorded.
The agronomic significance of the inflorescence lies in ensuring entomophily, as the bright color and structure attract pollinating insects necessary for seed formation. The phase of emergence and the condition of the inflorescences also serve as a primary indicator for determining the optimal timing for harvesting for forage or green manure.
