Zig-zag clover growing in a trial area at Lake Tekapo.
Ziz-zag clover, showing the typical oval leaflets, long trailing petioles, and well-developed rhizomes. The flower is similar in appearance to that of red clover, the main difference being that the calyx of zig-zag clover is hairy only on the teeth, but in red clover the calyx is hairy all over.
