Hop Trefoil is a herbaceous biennial or annual
plant, growing to 10-30 cm tall, with distinctive yellow flower-heads
that superficially resemble Hop flowers. Each flower-head is a
cylindrical or spherical collection of 20-40 individual flowers, about 5-13 mm
across.
Individual flowers are very tiny. The
flowers become brown upon aging and drying. The leaves are alternate
and trifoliate, with three oblong or elliptical leaflets 4-10 mm long.
Hop Trefoil is native to W. Asia and Africa, naturalized in many parts
of the world. It can be found growing wild in Kashmir Valley.
