Prominently zygomorphic
The calyx lobes are unequal in shape and/or size. The calyx is bilaterally symmetrical, i.e. symmetric about 1 vertical plane only. Commonly, the upper two calyx lobes may be enlarged, united further towards their apex and/or are differently shaped at the apex relative to the lower three (e.g. Bossiaea spp.). Note that for several taxa one or more of these conditions occurs, although not strongly so (e.g. Jacksonia, Gompholobium, some Daviesia spp.). When zygomorphy is not pronounced, taxa are treated as being actinomorphic.
