rabbit-foot clover

This plant is Trifolium arvense in the fabaceae family:



I found this specimen on a blustery day in May of 2009.  Quite a few covering the side of the road on hwy 49 between Indianola and Yazoo.  The constant wind made photographing this little plant rather difficult.

T. arvense an invasive species that has prospered on the N. American continent making its way up both coastlines into Canada.  Its flower blooms in a head arrangement.
