Abstract  ‘G41’ Zigzag clover (Trifolium medium L.) is the product of a breeding programme that was begun by L. Corkill at Grasslands Division, DSIR, Palmerston North, New Zealand in 1950 and was temporarily halted in 1960 with the harvest of seed from a diallel crossing block. Some of this seed was used subsequently for forage trials in the dry hills and high country of the South Island, New Zealand, but the product was not formally described or made generally available.

¹Each germplasm is the product of a completed or significant breeding programme, but the breeders are not seeking Plant Variety Rights. Germplasms are available free as “concept cultivars”, intended as research materials or for further localised breeding projects. Request for seed should be made to the corresponding author. Germplasm releases are not fully refereed.
