Calyx length

The length (in millimetres) of the calyx, measured from the junction of the pedicel and receptacle to the tip of the longest lobe. In some taxa, the base of the receptacle is distinct, indicated by a slight groove (e.g. Daviesia). Otherwise, the base of the receptacle is indicated by a broadening above the pedicel to the base of the calyx tube.
