About

Trifolium stoloniferum, the running buffalo clover, is an endangered species of perennial clover native to the eastern and midwestern United States.

Where it grows

The original habitat of this plant is believed to be areas of rich soils in open areas among forests and prairies. Grazing bison probably maintained these open areas while migrating along established trails. Running buffalo clover has current populations in West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Pennsylvania and Missouri. There are also historical reports from Illinois, Kansas, and Arkansas.
