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 2-10mm wide, have a rounded apex and are sharply toothed. The stipules are membranous. The flowers are pink and heads about 6-12mm long and 5-8mm wide. The name "Woolly Clover" comes from the sepals, which are densely hairy.
