File:Trifolium glanduliferum plant Tocal legume trial 1.jpg

English: Introduced cool-season annual herbaceous C3 legume forming dense swards. Stems are semi-erect to erect, branched and to 50 cm tall. Leaves have 3 leaflets; leaflets are hairless, 1-2 cm long, rounded becoming more elongated with age; margins are finely toothed and contain glands. Stipules are green. Flowerheads are many-flowered rounded heads. Flowers are pea-shaped with light to dark pink petals. Fruits are 2-3-seeded pods. Flowers in spring and early summer. A native of Eurasia, it is sown for hay and grazing on neutral to mildly acid soils. Best suited to 375-600 mm regions with a cool-season rainfall dominance, little summer rainfall and only light frosts. A moderately palatable high-quality forage with a growth pattern similar to early maturing Subterranean Clovers, but not as productive as Serradella and Biserrula. Resistant to red-legged earth mites, aphids and scorch, moderately tolerant to waterlogging and has low coumarin levels. Compatible with other temperate legumes, but susceptible to competition during establishment. Has excellent regeneration, as it has high levels of hard seed and seed yields. Can be grazed heavily in winter, but there is a need to restrict grazing during flowering, especially in the first year, to allow it to set large amounts of seed.
