Desmodium Nudiflorum
Naked-flowered Tick-trefoil
Considered a weed in some places, this plant is actually used frequently in agriculture because of it's ability to stave off many insects. It contains high levels of antixenotic allomones that repel insects and also allelopathic compounds that kill weeds. Some species of desmodium have been used for medicinal purposes as they contain flavonoids which can protect the liver.
