Bird's-foot Trefoil (Lotus corniculatus) This trefoil is growing between ancient roman ruins of the former city of Volubilis. After walking around a while I was getting bored so mounted the macro lens on my camera and started looking between the ruins rather then at the ruins. This trefoil was among the plants I found. It was very tiny, I guess the total diameter is about 2 cm.<br /> <br /> Dutch name: Gewone Rolklaver (Lotus corniculatus var. corniculatus) Geotagged,Lotus corniculatus,Morocco Click/tap to enlarge Species introCountry intro
