Trifolium tomentosum (Fabaceae ) 1:158
Trifolium tomentosum (woolly clover) is a common, almost  hairless herbaceous weed with trifoliate leaves. The leaves are on long petioles. The leaflets are widest above the middle, 4-15 mm long by 2-10 mm wide, have a rounded apex and are sharply toothed. The stipules are membranous. The flowers are pink and heads about 6-12 mm long and 5-8 mm wide. The name "woolly clover" comes from the sepals, which are densely hairy.
