Probably our best-known Clover, its flowers are actually rose-purple (occasionally white); the heads are large and sessile or very short-stalked. Its leaflets are widest near the middle and have a lighter green V-shaped blaze. [Smith, Richard M., Wildflowers of the Southern Mountains. The University of Tennessee Press, Knoxville, 1998]
