Clover Genus Details

section divider
Many people recognize clover as a 1-3 inch plant growing amongst their otherwise well-manicured lawns. Clover is primarily insect-pollinated. The pollen-bearing structures (stamens) are concealed in the fold of the lower petal, and are not exposed except by the action of an insect. Usually consisting of three tear-drop-shaped leaves, an occasional four-leafed clover will appear, and is said to bring about good luck in legends. Clovers are common icons used to represent anything Irish (at least in the U.S. popular culture).
