Trifolium gracilentum, commonly known as pinpoint clover or slender clover, is an annual herb that is native to a variety of habitats in western North America, particularly grasslands, meadows, and open areas within coastal sage scrub and chaparral. It is found along the west coast of the United States and in northwestern Mexico. This species typically exhibits a prostrate to erect growth habit with mostly hairless herbage. The leaflets are lance-shaped to oval, and the plant produces an inflorescence that is an umbel of small, delicate pink or purple flowers, which are most commonly seen from April to June.

Pinpoint clover is valued for its ability to fix nitrogen in the soil, enhancing soil fertility, and is often used in wildflower mixes for meadows and naturalized areas. It is also appreciated for its low water requirements and ability to thrive in poor soils, making it suitable for xeriscaping. In cultivation, it prefers full sun to light shade and requires well-drained soils. While it is not commonly used in formal garden settings, it can be an attractive addition to informal gardens and restoration projects. Potential problems include susceptibility to rust and mildew in damp conditions. It is not known to be invasive when grown outside its native range.CC BY-SA 4.0
