Trifolium glomeratum is a species of clover known by the common names clustered clover[1][2] and bush clover.
Description
It is an annual herb growing decumbent to upright in form with mostly hairless herbage. The leaves are made up of oval leaflets up to 1.2 centimeters (1⁄2 in) in length. The inflorescences occur in leaf axils, each a cluster of many flowers resembling a flowerhead. Each flower has a calyx of sepals with triangular points that bend outward and a pink corolla.
Distribution and habitat
It is native to Eurasia and North Africa and it is known elsewhere as an introduced species. It easily takes hold in disturbed areas, becoming a common weed.
