Red clover (Trifolium pratense) is a kind of weed, strongly rampant, widely cultivated as a forage plant and green manure because its roots can fix nitrogen and increase soil fertility.

日本語: 赤詰草 (アカツメクサ, レッドクローバー) は一種の雑草で、根が窒素を固定し、土壌の肥沃度を高めることができるため、飼料植物や緑肥として広く栽培されています。 花が魅力的で、観賞用植物としても栽培されています。 お皿に飾る飾りとして広く使われています。 しかし、それは有毒な植物であることに注意してください。 毒性は低いですが、長期間の摂取は健康に影響を及ぼします。
