Giant Beggarweed, Florida Clover. Figs. 305, 306, 307. By H. Harold Hume. A strong, upright, branched annual, grown far South for hay, forage and cover-crop, reaching a height of to eight feet, with broad, trifol- ioliate leaves and small inconspicuous flowers in panicled racemes. The seeds are small, yellow- ish, flattened, and resemble red clover in weight, and in size, shape and color ; they are borne in hispid, jointed pods, which break apart at maturity and cling to the coats of animals or cloth- ing of persons. It is closely related to the beggar-lice of the North. Beg- garweed is a leguminous plant, in its general value and characteristics re- sembling the clovers. Most plants of this genus are weeds, this particular one being the only species grown as a cultivated crop. It is found as a native plant in the West Indies, and throughout northern Florida and south- /^ em Georgia, while in culti- / vation it is found all over Florida and elsewhere in the southern states.
