'''''Lotus glaber''''' ('''Narrow-leaf Bird's-foot Trefoil''') is a flowering plant of the pea family [[Fabaceae]], native to western and southern [[Europe]] and southwest [[Asia]]. Some [[botanist]]s treat it as a [[subspecies]] of ''[[Lotus corniculatus]]'', as ''L. corniculatus'' subsp. ''tenuifolius''.
Its tolerance of [[sodium chloride|salt]] and poor soil make this plant useful for marginal conditions. It has become naturalised in many other locations, including the [[Pampas]] of [[Argentina]], and parts of the [[United States]].
It is also called Slender Trefoil, Creeping Trefoil, or Prostrate Trefoil.
