Showy tick-trefoil (Desmodium canadense), also known as Canadian tick-trefoil, is a beautiful native legume with colorful, pea-like flowers. Like other members of the pea family, this plant is extremely valuable to wildlife, serving as a larval host plant for several butterfly species and a food source for game birds, such as bobwhite quail, ruffed grouse, and wild turkey. The plant’s sticky seed pods, known as loments, are covered in fine, hooked hairs that attach to clothing and fur, an adaptation that aids in their dispersal.
