This clover lies flat to the ground and the small white flowers don't have stalks (sessile) and are crowded around the main "crown" of the plant. This plant had been in flower earlier in the week but it had mostly finished by the time this photo was taken. This rarity has a limited distribution around the southern and eastern coasts of England with some to be found inland in the Brecks where this one grew. It is absent from Ireland and there is one site in Northern Scotland and Wales.
