Desmodium lineatum
Desmodium lineatum, the matted tick-trefoil, is a trailing perennial species in the legume family native to the southeastern United States.
Desmodium lineatum is found from southeast Maryland to northern peninsular Florida and west to Texas. It is rarely found inland. It grows in longleaf pine sandhills and other dry forests and woodlands. It is found in frequently burned upland shortleaf and longleaf pine native and old-field communities as well as fire excluded habitat, showing that it is not fully fire dependent. It has shown the ability to regrow in reestablished native longleaf pine habitat that was disturbed by agriculture.
