There are two sub species of this introduced clover but since I have the greatest difficulty in identifying it anyway, I'm not going to try to separate them. This clover can be white and pink like this one, or all white or all pink and it doesn't look too different from a pinkish T repens. Very tricky. The pointy stipules are supposed to give it away.
