And finally, Red (or pink) Clover. Also a true clover, this is sometimes found in our lawns. It's not as hardy as Dutch (white) clover (you don't usually find the other type of white clover, Ladino, in the lawn), and from what I can remember (don't have my cover crop book handy, it is several states away in storage) doesn't fix as much nitrogen as either of the white clovers.

Yellow sweet clover is a legume, but is not a "true" clover. Both yellow and red clovers are considered to be somewhat invasive.
