Grona triflora, also known as Desmodium triflorum, creeping tick trefoil, or three-flower beggarweed, is a plant in the family Fabaceae. It is native to tropical regions around the globe and introduced to subtropical regions including the southern United States.[3][4][2]

Phytochemicals

[edit]

Grona triflora contains alkaloids including N,N-dimethyltryptophan methyl ester, dimethyltryptamine-N-oxide, hypaphorine (structurally related to plakohypaphorine), phenylethylamine, hordenine, tyramine, and trigonelline.[5][6]

Medicinal applications and qualities

[edit]

Creeping tick trefoil has been utilized in folk medicine. Conditions it has been used for include wounds, diarrhea, rheumatism, dysentery, and skin diseases.[7]

Known substances found in trefoils include alkaloids and flavonoids. The entire plant is used in human nutritional treatment.[7]

Agricultural applications

[edit]

Creeping tick trefoil is used in agriculture similarly to the closely related Desmodium; see Desmodium#uses.
