Clovers were a family of flowering plants. Cockscomb, purple, and white honey-smelling clovers grew at the edge of Beorn's bee-pastures.[1]

Portrayal in adaptations

1984-1997: Middle-earth Role Playing

The books describe two types of clover:
Bitterlove (S. Dolgened, Q. Nullacenië) was a type of four-leaved clover, with small pink flowers. Its fresh leaves could be boiled to produce a sensory-enhancing steam, which allowed both Elves and Men to see as well in the dark as Dwarves could. Dwarves, however, would have their vision reduced.[2]
Black Clover (S. Mornast, Q. Mornasto) was a rare and dangerous clover in the higher valley of Lebennin. Its pollen gave a burning sensation to the lungs, followed by coughing and vomiting. The Drúedain used it in a poison paste.[2][3]
