White sweet clover (Melilotus alba), South Shore Park Milwaukee

            White sweet clover (scientific name Melilotus alba, sometimes written Melilotus albus) growing near the Lake Michigan shoreline in South Shore Park in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
White sweet clover is considered an invasive weed in the United States. In some parts of the world, it is grown as a forage crop. It's often considered a valuable honey plant and nectar source.

White sweet clover (Melilotus alba) is closely related to yellow sweet clover (Melilotus officinalis), and in some botanical classifications, white sweet clover is considered to be a subspecies of Melilotus officinalis. The obvious difference between the two is the color of flower; otherwise they are very similar in form and appearance.

The Melilotus sweet clovers are in the Fabales order and the Fabaceae (bean / legume) family.
