Le trèfle alpin, appelé aussi trèfle des Alpes ou réglisse des montagnes, est une espèce de plantes à fleurs de la famille des Fabaceae. C'est une petite plante très basse, formant parfois d'importantes touffes. On le rencontre exclusivement en montagne au-dessus de 1 000 m d'altitude. Ses fleurs roses sont odorantes, et sa racine sucrée, à goût de réglisse, constitue une petite friandise lors de balades ou de randonnées. Il appartient au genre Trifolium et à la famille des Fabacées. On en connaît deux variétés : - var. alpinum - var. nanum Rouy 1899 On considère que cette plante fait partie de la flore obsidionale de France.

Compounds documented for Trifolium alpinum across natural-product and food-composition databases — not just the ~150 nutrients on a classic label ("nutritional dark matter").
A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Trifolium alpinum has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceCCDB
The complete instruction manualTrifolium alpinum carries — its genome. We read it from three angles — how big it is, how the DNA is packed into chromosomes, and how completely it has been sequenced — and explain how to read each value as you go.
Chromosomes & ploidyhow the DNA is packaged
2n is the full chromosome count in a normal body cell; n is a gamete (egg or sperm), which carries half. Ploidy is how many complete chromosome sets each cell holds — 2× (diploid) is typical for animals, while higher levels (polyploidy) are common in plants.

09Environmental DNA3 detections
Where the DNA of Trifolium alpinum was picked up in samples of water, soil or air — nobody saw the organism, only its DNA left behind. A trace is a clue that the species was near, not a confirmed sighting.

How strong is each trace?
DNA read depthRead counts were not reported for this species — the map shows presence only, not how strong each trace was.
How to read this: each dot is one detection of this species' DNA in an environmental sample. The confidence meter weighs how many independent studies and places back up the signal — one detection in one study is a hint; many across several studies is solid. Records dated before 2008 (when eDNA methods began) are treated as likely mislabeled and left off the map.
