Species: Trifolium eriocephalum

Woolly-head Clover is a perennial with erect stems that are 20-60 cm tall and arising from a thick taproot and a branched rootcrown. The leaves have three leaflets that are 2-7 cm long and elliptic to oblong with sharply toothed margins. The base of each leaf petiole is enlarged to form two lance-shaped wings, or stipules, that are 2-5 cm long. The foliage is sparsely to densely long-hairy. 25-80 flowers are borne in globose clusters at the ends of the main stem or on side branches. The pinkish to red flowers are nodding and 12-17 mm long with a hood-shaped upper petal, or banner, as well as two narrow, separate petals on the side (wings); the two lower petals are united into a boat-shaped petal, or keel. The calyx has five long teeth at the mouth and is covered with long, feather-like hairs. The fruit is a small pod with 4 ovules.
