Trifolium squarrosum is a species of annual herb in the family Fabaceae. They have a self-supporting growth form and compound, broad leaves. [1] [2]
The plant is allelopathic, producing chemicals which suppress the growth of other plants nearby. This may make it useful as a companion plant, reducing the need for artificial weedkillers. [3]
