Hylodesmum glutinosum is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae. Common names include large tick-trefoil, clustered-leaved tick-trefoil, large-flowered tick-clover, pointed tick-trefoil, beggar's lice and pointed-leaved tick-trefoil.[1][2] It occurs in eastern Canada, the central and eastern United States, and northeastern Mexico.[3]
First described in 1802 as Hedysarum glutinosum and sometimes considered part of the genus Desmodium, it was transferred to the new genus Hylodesmum (tribe Desmodieae) in 2000.[4]
