Morphological characteristics of Lotus spp. (a to c) plants grown for a month under glass-house. (a) L. corniculatus. (b) Lotus tenuis x Lotus corniculatus hybrid. (c) L. tenuis. (d) number of stems per plant. (e) stem length, Lc: L. corniculatus; LH1, LH2, LH3 and LH4: L. tenuis x L. corniculatus hybrid plants 1, 2, 3, and 4, Lt: L. tenuis, bars indicate standard deviation of mean values, means with similar letter do not differ significantly (p < 0.05). (f) leaves of Lc: L. corniculatus, LH2: hybrid plant and Lt: L. tenuis. (g) leaves of hybrid plants 1 and 2 (LH1 and LH2). (h and i) rhizome formation in one-year-old plants, the blue arrow indicates the rhizome. (h) L. corniculatus plant. (i) hybrid plant (LH2).
