Grona styracifolia, commonly known as Prostrate Ticktrefoil, is a deciduous perennial herb native to open woodlands and forest edges in Southeast Asia. It typically grows to a height of 3 feet (0.9 meters) and a width of 2 feet (0.6 meters). The plant features trifoliate leaves and produces showy, purple flowers in the spring, which are followed by distinctive lomentaceous seed pods that stick to clothing and fur, aiding in seed dispersal.

Prostrate Ticktrefoil is valued for its ornamental purple flowers and its ability to fix nitrogen in the soil, enhancing soil fertility. It is used in border planting, as ground cover, and for erosion control due to its spreading habit. It thrives in full sun to part shade and requires medium amounts of water. It is adaptable to a range of soil types, provided they have good drainage. While generally low-maintenance, it can be susceptible to fungal diseases in humid conditions. Gardeners should be aware that it may spread aggressively in optimal conditions.CC BY-SA 4.0
