content: This is a mounted specimen of red clover. The specimen includes the stem, leaves, and flower of the plant. The stem is thin and green, with offshoots that end in leaves. The leaves come in clusters of three and are green and ovular in shape. The topmost portions of the stems have denser leaf clusters and reddish-purple flowers in bloom. The flower petals themselves are thin, upward facing curves that collectively form a rounded ball shape. Each flower is approximately 3 cm long, and leaves are generally about 3 cm long as well. Overall, the mount measures approximately 42 cm x 29 cm. This specimen description was written remotely based on images as part of Amber Kreiensieck's internship in Fall 2021.
