BLACK MEDICK

Black Medick (Medicago lupulina) has small yellow flower heads but each head can contain 10-50 separate tiny flowers.


It grows in areas of short grass and forms large clumps.  The leaves are trifoliate (made of three leaflets) like so many clover types.


But you can distinguish it from other yellow trefoils because each leaflet ends in a minute point.
