| Character Abstract | |
|---|---|
| Identification Comments: | Distinguished from other pinkish-purple, trifoliate clovers of the area by the combination of entirely densely gray-villous herbage, with coarsely spinulose-serrate leaflets, a much reduced involucre, and a densely villous ovulary/pod. |
| Subspecies Comments: | |
| Lookalikes: | |
| Phenology Comments: | |
| Reproduction Comments: | |
| Habitat Comments: | Mostly on dry, shallow, relatively barren gravel soils of crumbling volcanic outcrops, mostly on flat to steep tops and upper slopes, sometimes on side or toe slopes, mostly with northeast to southeast to southwest aspects, with Artemisia arbuscula and other sparse associated species. |
| Ecology Comments: | |
| Inventory Comments: | Surveys in Nevada have been extensive but likely remain incomplete. |
| Inventory Needs: | Further surveys needed for new populations; 3-4 year and programatic monitoring needed for populations status and trends. |
