(Clover)

The bean, legume, or pea family is a diverse, cosmopolitan group with many culturally and economically important members. It is the third largest plant family in existence with nearly 20,000 named species described. These flowering dicots may be trees, shrubs or herbs and exist everywhere worldwide save the icy poles. They are characterized by their elongated, many-seeded fruits (legumes) that open via longitudinal sutures. Most Fabaceae form root nodules containing symbiotic bacteria that fix atmospheric...

(White Clover)

A familiar herbaceous perennial found in moist meadows in its native Eurasia and in lawns throughout the temperate zones, Dutch clover spreads rapidly by creeping, rooting stems to form large mats of three-parted foliage. It bears cranberry-sized heads of pink-tinged white flowers from spring to fall. Bees throng the fragrant blooms. A member of the legume family, it is valuable for adding nitrogen to the soil via symbiotic bacteria. Several cultivars are available including the purple-leaved form...
