Desmodium fernaldii is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae.{{r|POWO}} It is native to the southeastern United States.

Description

Desmodium fernaldii is a herbaceous perennial plant.

Taxonomy

Desmodium fernaldii was first described by the American botanist Bernice Schubert in 1950.{{sfnp|Schubert|1950|loc=[https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/618658#page/166/mode/1up pp. 147–148]}} The specific name fernaldii honors American botanist Merritt Lyndon Fernald "whose intensive work on the flora of [Virginia] has clarified many floristic problems of long standing".

Desmodium fernaldii is a member of the Desmodium paniculatum complex, a group of closely related taxa that also includes Desmodium paniculatum sensu stricto, Desmodium glabellum, and Desmodium perplexum.{{sfnp|Thomas|2020|pages=29–30}} Alternatively, some botanists lump the taxa into a single polymorphic species, Desmodium paniculatum sensu lato,{{r|Ohashi 2013|JIN et al. 2021}} in which case Desmodium fernaldii becomes a variety of Desmodium paniculatum.
