Trifolium repens, a
perennial herb originating in Europe, is reportedly distributed
worldwide and grows wild unexceptionally throughout this country.
Stems crawl long on the ground to extend their reach. Leaves with
long, 5-10 cm-long petioles have three leaflets at the tips; the
leaflets measure 1-2.5cm long and 0.8-1.8cm wide, in a broad obovate
shape, generally with spots on their surfaces. Approximately 1cm
long, many white flowers combine to make up spherical
inflorescences. The flowers have short pedicles; on pollination,
they droop in order from outside. Bloom time: May-August. |
