Trifolium repens, Linn. White Clover. Low creeping glabrous perennial: lvs. long-stalked, the lfts. obcordate and obscurely toothed, the stipules small and scale-like: heads long-peduncled from the ground, small and loose: fls. white, fragrant. Eu. and thought to be native in the northern part of the U. S. and in Canada, but naturalized everywhere.—Much used in lawns, and in some parts prized for pasture. There are forms with red and purplish foliage. This is considered by most authorities to be the shamrock of Ireland. A form of it is offered as T. minus, "the genuine Irish shamrock." See Shamrock. Var. atropurpureum, Hort., is a dwarf form: lvs. bronze, edged with bright green. Var. pentaphyllum, Hort., is a creeping rock-plant: lvs. have a bronze luster. Var. purpureum, Hort., has fine bronzy purple foliage. The species assumes many forms.
