Trifolium repens / Shirotsumegusa シロツメクサ

 
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 have long, 5-10 cm petioles and three leaflets at the tips; the leaflets measure 1- 2.5 cm long and 0.8- 1.8 cm wide, with a broad obovate shape and generally spotted surfaces. Approximately 1cm long, many white flowers form spherical inflorescences. The flowers have short pedicels; after pollination, they droop inward. Bloom time: May-August.
