2 species, 2 variants?

Different authors disagree whether the leaves and stalk are hairy too. Maybe there are different species or variants? For sure the type growing in my own garden have only hairy pods but are smooth on stalk or leaves. Or perhaps they grow hairy too when the plant matures? The lawnmower raraly allows it to reach that state. Tauʻolunga 07:53, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

2nd variety

In Hawaii I found a hairless variety that does not have seed that clings to fur and clothing. I do not have seed for it. D. incanum grows in poorer soils. It is a good nitrogen fixer. My animals enjoyed it. It has a "Velcro" seed coat. The rice sized seed clings to fur and then drops from its seed coat, leaving the seed coat on the fur.
