Seeds 2-4, ovoid to reniform. Fl. and fr. May-Oct.
Perennial; stems creeping, sending up long-petioled lvs and long-peduncled heads; stipules connate beyond the level of adnation to the petiole to form a pale, tubular-amplexicaul sheath, but the tips separate; lfls broadly elliptic to obovate, rounded to retuse at the summit, 1–2 cm; fls 7–11 mm, distinctly pedicellate; cal glabrous, the tube 1.8–3 mm, the nerves leading to the acute sinuses sharply defined and ending in a purple spot; cal-lobes narrowly triangular, acuminate, unequal, the longest about equaling the tube; cor white or tinged with pink, the standard elliptic-obovate, rounded at the tip, exceeding the obtuse wings; 2n=32 (64). Native of Eurasia, commonly planted and escaped in lawns and roadsides throughout most of temperate N. Amer. All summer.
Creeping, perennial herb, 0.1-0.3 m long; stems rhizomatous, prostrate, rooting at nodes. Leaves long-petioled. Leaflets 6-25 x 10-15 mm, broadly obovate to orbicular, apex emarginate; margin sharply serrulate; parallel lateral veins forked towards margins. Stipules broad at base, upper part subulate, scarious with reddish or green nerves. Inflorescences 15-35 mm in diam., umbellate, 20-many-flowered; peduncles much longer than petioles of subtending leaves. Flowers white, yellow or pink, pedicels much longer than calyx; corolla twice as long as calyx. Petals: standard ovate-lanceolate, rounded at apex. Flowering time Oct.-Dec. Pod linear-oblong, 3-or 4-seeded, constricted between seeds.
A creeping or erect herb. It keeps growing from year to year. It grows 20 cm high. The stems are creeping and hairless and root at the nodes. The leaves have 3 leaflets. The leaflets can be oval or heart shaped. They have a dent in at the ends. They are hairless. They are on long stalks and usually have a white band. The flowers are white and in a round head. It is on a stalk that is longer than the leaves. The pods are narrowly oblong. They are 4-5 mm long. There are 2-5 seeds.
