Development of Subterranean Clover (Trifolium Subterraneum L.) at Very Early Stages¹

Ten unique morphological stages of plant development from emergence to full expansion of the unifoliolate leaf were described for an annual clover (Trifolium subterraneum L.). This system of classification provides for precise morphological description of plant development when a high degree of experimental resolution is required at very early stages.

Key Words: Developmental morphology • Leaf index number
