Strawberry Clover - Trifolium fragiferum

A procumbent perennial herb, rooting at the nodes. The flower can resemble a pink tinged form of White Clover, but it is the fruits that are distinctive. They are larger than the flower, and the sepals (calyx) become inflated forming a large, pale pink fruiting body which is said to resemble a strawberry (hence the Common Name).
