“…Diversity within subterranean clover is high for a range of phenological and growth traits [4,7,15,16]. Flowering time is highly responsive to environment, with several studies demonstrating that early flowering is important for adaptation to short-season environments, with later flowering favoured in longer growing-season areas [15,16,17,18,19,20]. Diversity has also been found for plant diameter, petiole length and thickness, leaf size, internode length, stem thickness, peduncle length and thickness and mean seed size [16,18,19,21,20].…”
