Hmm, here's a stupid question that I don't see the answer to in the Wikipedia entries. The black medick is called black because it produces black seedpods. So what's the stuff in our lawn that has prickly seedballs, burrs in fact? It could otherwise be either of the 2 plants, although I note that hop clover supposedly gets a foot high, and what we have spreads along he ground and keeps low except where it leans against the raised border of a flowerbed. But it looks like a clover with mini yellow flowers, only I don't recall clover forming burrs.
M, who keeps having to rip out the pretty legume after it goes to seed before it makes the dog miserable.
