> Does white clover mean the annual which is now called Hubam or Hubam sweet clover?

No. I thought it was pretty clear we were talking about white Dutch clover, Trifolium repens. This is the clover people see in their lawns and which doesn't get higher than about three inches. It used to be planted extensively and the region from Massachusetts to Ohio was called the white clover and buckwheat region by beekeepers.

Sweet clover, Melilotus officinalis, which was mentioned in my post, is an entirely different plant. It comes in yellow and white varieties and can grow up to six feet high. These plants, along with alfalfa, Medicago sativa (also called lucerne) belong to the Trifolieae tribe. These in turn belong to the family Fabaceae, formerly known as Leguminosae.
