↑Notes
This plant is only referred to by the common name "Korean Clover", which is usually contrasted with japanese clover (Kummerowia striata); although this species is native to Korea, the names are slightly misleading as both species are native to Japan, Korea, and beyond, and even in Korea, K. striata is the more common of the two species.
