Finger Lakes, NY (July 3-6, 2008)
Trifolium arvense (Rabbit-foot Clover)
Rabbit-Foot Clover is easy to distinguish from other plants because of its exceptionally hairy flowerheads and trifoliate leaves says:

-Rabbit-foot Clover "Leaves are compound in 3s; leaflets are about ¾ inch long and to ¼ inch wide, mostly toothless, tapering at the base, with a blunt or rounded tip and widest at or above the middle. Surfaces are sparsely hairy, and fine hairs are all around the edges.
-At the base of the leaf stalk is a pair of hairy, awl-shaped appendages (stipules), ¼ to 1/3 inch long, green to red. Stems are erect to ascending, much branched, and densely hairy but may become smooth with age.", says:
