Varieties
Australia and New Zealand, where it is naturalised, it is sometimes called King Island melilot.[1][2] Description It is an annual or biennial herb from 10 to 50 centimetres in height (rarely to one metre), with yellow flowers.[3] Taxonomy It was first published as Trifolium indica by Carl Linnaeus in his 1753 Species plantarum. It was transferred into Melilotus by Carlo Allioni in 1785.[4] Common name Pili Senji Distribution and habitat It has a wide native distribution, ranging from Macaronesia and northern Africa, through Europe, and into temperate and tropical Asia. It is naturalised throughout most of the rest of the world, including the United Kingdom, the United States, South America, Australia and New Zealand.[1] Uses and economic importance It is used as a source of nectar for bees, as forage, and as a soil improver. It is also used in folk medicine. It is poisonous to some mammals, and is a potential seed crop contaminant.[1] References ^ a b c "Melilotus indicus".
