§¨§¨§¨§¨§¨ CLOVER" IS  A  CARNIVOROUS  PLANT NATIVE ¨¨§¨§¨§¨§¨

§¨§¨§¨§¨§¨  INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM REGULAR CLOVER.  ¨§§¨§¨§¨§¨
§¨§¨§¨§¨§¨ WHEN  DISTURBED,  IT  PRODUCES  A  THICK ¨¨§¨§¨§¨§¨
§¨§¨§¨§¨§¨ STICKY SAP  THAT  WILL  ENSNARE  ANIMALS ¨§§¨§¨§¨§¨
§¨§¨§¨§¨§¨ THAT ARE TOO  WEAK  TO MOVE AWAY (FROGS, ¨¨§¨§¨§¨§¨
