Birdsfoot trefoil Lotus comiculatus

Plants to be tested Birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus comiculatus) or apple seeds or almonds... 

We will test birdsfoot trefoil, Lotus comiculatus, along with other legume species... 

In this second part, we will test a number of specimens of the same species in each of several locations for variation of cyanogenesis in a population. We will use Trifolium repens (white clover) or Lotus comiculatus (birdsfoot trefoil). To collect the plants in a systematic fashion, we lay out a grid. Sticks mark the ends of rows (transects) on a lawn or in a field. We start with one plant, then pick one plant 1 m along the transect, and so forth. If no plant of interest exists at that point, the closest plant is chosen, and the next one will be 1 m from that, and so on.
