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.
