Description
English: Desmodium triflorum, Creeping Tick Trefoil, is an ornamental plant in the Fabaceae family. It is native to Florida, Hawaii, and some small areas of other southern states of the United States. It is a creeper, a vine that grows along the ground as opposed to growing up trees or buildings. It has three leaves with smooth edges and a white stripe up the middle, ranging from a bright white to a barely visible grey stripe, depending on the nutrients of the soil. The stems of the plants are either green, red, or both, with minuscule hairs along them. The seeds are in pods that cling to clothing and hair, not unlike velcro. The plant relies on this system to spread growth of the plant. D. triflorum is highly resistant to grazing or mowing, which makes it very difficult to get rid of.


Creeping Tick Trefoil [1]is a much branched, mat-forming creeping herb, with clover-like leaves. Leaves are divided into 3 leaflets, the lower leaves sometimes undivided. Leaflets are inverted-egg shaped, to inverted-heart shaped, rounded and notched at the tip. They are mostly less than 1 cm long, up to 9 mm wide, sometimes with 2 white marks. Flowers arise few in fascicles, opposite the leaves, on stalks 3-8 mm long, lengthening in fruit to just over 1 cm. Flowers are reddish-violet or pale pink, standard petal obovate, 4-5 mm long. Pods are up to 1.7 cm long, about 2.3 mm broad, 3-7-jointed.
