Wikipedia states that the
Clover (
Trifolium) is a
genus of about 300
species of
plants in the pea family
Fabaceae. The genus has a
cosmopolitan distribution; the highest diversity is found in the temperate
Northern Hemisphere, but many species also occur in
South America and
Africa, including at high altitudes on mountains in the tropics.
They are small annual, biennial, or short-lived perennial herbaceous plants. The leaves are trifoliate (rarely 5- or 7-foliate), with stipules adnate to the leaf-stalk, and heads or dense spikes of small red, purple, white, or yellow flowers; the small, few-seeded pods are enclosed in the calyx.
