Running Buffalo Clover

 
   

 

 

 
 

Running Buffalo Clover is known from 35 sites within West Virginia. It is found in the Fernow Experimental Forest near Blackwater Canyon. This plant is called running buffalo clover because of the stolons, or runners, that extend from the base of erect stems. These stolons are capable of rooting and expanding the size of small clumps of clover into larger ones. The flower of this clover, which is on a stem with a pair of leaflets (unlike other clovers), is white tinged with purple. It flowers from May through July.
