Bird’s-foot trefoil, Lotus corniculatus (also known as birdfoot deervetch, eggs and bacon, cat’s clover, ground honeysuckle) is a member of the Fabaceae or pea family. Native to Eurasia and North Africa, it was introduced from Europe as an agricultural forage crop. Bird’s-foot trefoil is commonly found along the edges of prairies and disturbed areas, on roadsides and in other harsh environments. The name “trefoil” doesn’t refer to its 3 foot deep anchoring taproot.
