Noid update

Here is a specimen I picked up at the Oxley Nature Center next to the parking lot.  I believe it is the same species as the one that fell out of my 110 year old botany book.  There are some differences that I noticed.  The first is that the seed pods are larger on the older one.  Second is the position of the pods on the plant.  In the older one there are quite a few pods near the base of the plant.  Yet there is also one near the base of the new one.  I'm pretty sure that the older specimen is a more mature plant.  I would love to look at the tissues under a microscope to see if they match but I don't know how to do that yet.

The older specimen on the left may be C. oligosperma because of the difference in seed and pod size.

Botanical NOIDs ID

Noid 1 Legume?

This is a specimen I discovered in and antique Grays Botany book I purchased many years ago.  I have no idea what it could be.  My guess is that it is vetch....but?  If you have any idea please leave a comment.  BTW NOID means no ID.

Noid with scale

As you can see it is very small.  The pods are only 2cm long and are attached in pairs nearly opposite on the stems.  It appears that the stems are attached to the base of the plant in a whorl.  It fell out of the book and I don't know which page it went in and could not find a ghost of where it was placed.  It could have been in there for 100 yrs or more.
