Abstract
Twenty-seven introductions of African species of Trifolium were grown in nurseries and in a sward trial to test their possible use for Queensland pastures. T. semipilosum and T . burchellianum were the only species to persist for more than three years in a pasture under grazing. These two species may be useful constituents of irrigated and dryland pastures in south-east Queensland and northern New South Wales. Observations on growth habit, nematode infestation, and virus infection are given.Keywords
