KY Pasture - ID Please

[HB_Hunter]

Looking for some help to confirm what this is. It's about 12" tall.

That is either Slender Bush Clover or Common Lespedeza, aka Japanese Clover by some folks.

The good news is that it is not Sericea Lespedeza.

Thanks NH!

Thanks NH!

You're welcome.

Just so you can positively ID which it is, I searched and found you a link to each plant. I couldn't see your leaves well enough to say for sure, but you can look at these close up pics and be able to tell. I'm leaning toward the second one.

Thanks for the links. Looks like common lespedeza to me.
