In future versions of the Rare Species Explorer, we hope to incorporate natural community fidelity ranks for each taxon. In many cases, the general habitat descriptions should provide greater clarity and direction to the surveyor. Natural communities are not listed in order of frequency of occurrence, but are rather derived from the full set of natural communities, organized by Ecological Group. Natural communities are not listed for those species documented only from altered or ruderal habitats in Michigan, especially for taxa that occur in a variety of habitats outside of the state. For certain taxa, especially poorly collected or extirpated species of prairie and savanna habitats, natural community lists were derived from inferences from collection sites and habitat preferences in immediately adjacent states (particularly Indiana and Illinois). In most cases, at least one specimen record exists for each listed natural community. About the Natural Community Classificationįor each species, lists of natural communities were derived from review of the nearly 6,500 element occurrences in the MNFI database, in addition to herbarium label data for some taxa.Hosts Caterpillars of Butterflies/Moths, Attracts Pollinators, White false indigo grows in an upright, mounded habit producing small bluish-green trifoliate leaves that give plants a shrub-like appearance. After blooming bean-like seed pods appear that transition from green to brown and black through late summer and fall ripened seed pods often persist throughout winter months. White false indigo is a true year-round performer in the garden. ![]() ![]() This member of the Fabaceae family is native to the prairies and open woodlands throughout eastern North America, including Illinois. This plant is best grown in USDA Zones 3-9. White false indigo is a deep-rooted plant and, therefore, is drought tolerant and will perform well in even poor soils. Plants in the garden setting grow up to 1.5 m (4 ft.) tall with a 1m (3 ft.) spread, performing best in full-sun although plants are tolerant of partial-shade. Even the seed pods of white false indigo play host to an insect, the wild indigo weevil. The foliage of white false indigo often hosts a large number of caterpillars, including the wild indigo duskywing and orange sulfur caterpillars. Bumblebees are attracted to and are primary pollinators of the flowers. White false indigo attracts and hosts numerous insect. macrophylla (white false indigo) is an important plant for supporting insects in the perennial garden. Small, white, lupine-like flowers are borne on erect racemes that extend above the mounded foliage. ![]()
