Common Names: White Wild Indigo, White False Indigo, Prairie False Indigo
USDA lists two varieties and ITIS list none:
var. alba: found in the SE
var. macrophylla: found in TX north (mid-west) aka: "Large Texas Strain"
ITIS lists var. alba as a syn. of B. alba and var. macrophylla as B. lactea var. lactea.
Note erect plant with hairless green to indigo colored stems, compound leaf with three leaflets, stiff cream pea flower. This species is very similar to B. albescens, in plant size and shape, flower size and color. It is easiest to differentiate from B. albescens in fruit, with the pods being much larger in diameter. Also, the leaves are often considerably larger.
