'''Running Buffalo Clover''' (''Trifolium stoloniferum'') is an [[endangered species]] of perennial [[clover]] native to the eastern and midwestern [[United States]].

This plant has erect, unbranched flowering stems, typically 10-50 cm (4-20 in) tall. The apex of the stem is topped by a round [[flower]] head, subtended by two [[Leaf|leaves]]. These apical leaves are typically larger than those found on stems without flowers. The flower heads are white, sometimes tinged with purple, and 2-2.5 cm diameter.

Like other clovers, Running Buffalo Clover has leaves divided into three leaflets. It sends out long creeping runners (stolons) from its base, which grow along the ground and take root. The stems and leaves are hairless. It flowers from mid-May to June and fruits in July.
