Narrative
Alcona Germplasm Dillenius' tick-trefoil is a member of the pea family. This native perennial forb grows from 2 1/2 to 5 feet in height. Its tiny flowers are pink or purple and irregular in shape. The flowers turn light blue when spent. Bloom time is from mid summer to early fall and lasts about a month. There is no floral scent. The leaves are alternate, composed of three entire leaflets. They are egg shaped with little or no point. There is little or no stipule where the leaf is attached to the stem. This tick-trefoil prefers partial sun and dry to slightly dry conditions. It usually grows in soil that contains loam, clay loam, or some kind of rocky material. Its habitats include savannas, rocky upland forest, edges of wooded areas, thickets and limestone glades.

Pedigree
Description:
Forty-nine collections of tick-trefoil (various species) were assembled from 8 states and 16 Major Land Resource Areas. Seeds from each collection were planted in the greenhouse for preliminary observation of growth characteristics in 1989. In 1990, plants from 40 of the collections were placed in propagation beds for a 2-year evaluation of survival, vigor, seed weight, plant height and width, bloom period, disease resistance, foliage production, and flower abundance. Five accession, including Alcona Germplasm, were selected for further evaluation based on early and late season ranking summaries. Advanced evaluations were completed in 1992 on the five remaining accessions. The Alcona collection and two other accessions were selected for increase due to their superior survival, emergence, vigor, and foliage abundance.
