FWS Removes Running Buffalo Clover From Endangered Species List

The Fish and Wildlife Service is removing the running buffalo clover (Trifolium stoloniferum), a member of the pea family found in the lower Midwest, from the Endangered Species List, it said in a final rule published Aug. 6. An FWS review indicates that “the threats to running buffalo clover have been eliminated or reduced to the point that the species no longer meets the definition of an endangered species or a threatened species,” the agency said. The delisting takes effect Sept. 7.
