There are two doubtful (according to Stace) sub species of this introduced European 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.

It is recorded frequently from England Wales and to a lesser extent Ireland and only in northern Scotland has it failed to find a home.
