Also known as: Oneleaf clover

Alyce clover is characterized by its small, oval to oblong leaves that hug the stem closely, earning its descriptor 'ovalifolius'. Flourishing in sunny, open grasslands, its vining habit allows it to spread across the ground, supported by delicate yet robust stems. The plant boasts charming purplish-pink pea-like flowers that emerge in a cylindrical cluster, contributing to its subtle adornment of its native landscapes.
