Medicago lupulina
Black medick (Medicago lupulina) is a non-native landscape weed with a large natural range across Africa, Europe, and Asia. This weed spreads along the ground with a tight cluster of stems and yellow flowers. This weed is commonly found in landscapes, natural areas, yards and, due to its hardy nature, even in open areas in concrete.
