Desmodium lineatum...

As an amateur naturalist, I used to pride myself on researching the little discoveries I found and learning all about them. Lately, I've been noticing there don't seem to be as many as there used to be. This is commonly known as Matted Tick-trefoil or Sand Tick-trefoil. One of four native varieties we have in South Carolina. Odd common names, but it's a lovely little wildflower with sticky stems and leaves. The seeds will attach themselves to your shoes or pants with tiny little hairs. We called those hitchhikers when I was a kid.
