Trifolium, commonly known as clover, is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It includes over 300 species, which are often characterized by their three-leaflet leaves and round, dense flower heads. Clover is commonly found in temperate and subtropical regions around the world and is known for its ability to fix nitrogen in the soil, making it beneficial for agriculture. Clover species are important for both wildlife and livestock. They provide forage for grazing animals and attract pollinators like bees. Some common species include white clover and red clover, which are often used in pastures and as cover crops to improve soil health.
