Clover and wood sorrel are very similar in appearance, but they are completely different plants. Many people may see clover or wood sorrel on the roadside and confuse the two grasses, but in fact, as long as you look carefully, you can still clearly distinguish the difference between clover and wood sorrel.
The first thing I want to talk about is clover. Clover is actually a type of roadside weed and is not included in any herbaceous plant family. Clover is divided into two types: annual and perennial, but the leaves of both clovers will have a light white texture. This is the biggest difference between clover and wood sorrel. Clover is also a herbaceous plant that can bloom. Clover flowers are generally white, and some are yellow. However, the flowering period is generally short, so it is rare to see clover in bloom on the roadside. Some people take advantage of this characteristic of clover. , came up with the legend that seeing clover blooming will bring good luck.
The next thing to talk about is wood sorrel. The herbaceous family of wood sorrel is the wood sorrel family. It is very similar to clover in appearance, but if you consider it carefully, you can still find big differences. Sorrel is a perennial herb, which is the first difference between sorrel and clover. In addition, the leaves of wood sorrel are much thicker than those of clover. If you see wood sorrel alone, you may not be able to tell whether it is clover or wood sorrel from the thickness of the leaves, but at the same time, compare the wood sorrel If you look at the blade thickness of grass and clover, you can clearly see the difference between the two. Moreover, there is no light white texture on the leaves of wood sorrel, so if you want to distinguish between wood sorrel and clover, looking at the light white texture on the leaves is the best way.
To sum up, although wood sorrel and clover look similar in appearance, they are actually two completely different herbaceous plants. If you encounter these two kinds of grass on the roadside, you can follow the above method to carefully distinguish them. Distinguish carefully.
