About this weed

Medicago hispida, also known as Bur Clover, is a Mediterranean clover that can be found in South Africa.
It is a fast-growing, annual clover that is used in winter and can improve soil.
It is also used as a cover crop in orchards and as forage for grazing animals.
Bur clover can be found in agricultural land, roadsides, and other disturbed areas.
It can also be found in lawns, where its burrs can cling to the clothing or fur of passing animals. These seed capsules help the bur clover spread geographically.
Bur clover can be used raw or cooked as a potherb, with the leaves and young shoots being the only edible parts.
