 The floral mechanism (class H) is typical of many of the fam. (q.v.). 

 The keel is united above and below, leaving only a small opening at 

 the apex. The pollen is shed in bud into the tip of the keel, and the 

 filaments of five sta. thicken out below the anthers, together forming 

 a piston, which, when the keel is depressed, forces the pollen out in a 

 stream at the apex. The style is immersed in the pollen, but only 

 becomes receptive on being rubbed, so that the fl. has a chance of 

 cross-fert. The plant is useful for pasturage.
