Are we talking about clover, the nitrogen-fixing legume, or some other
plant?
Sounds like you are talking about two different plants.

The only good reason I can think of to remove clover is to have less bees
on
the lawn when you have barefoot people around. If you sprinkle clover
liberally with sulphate of ammonia it will die of nitrogen poisoning.

The local variety flowers and the seed pod is a burr. It is a nitrogen
fixing legume, can see the nodules when pulled out. The burr is the only
reason to kill it. The non-burr clover looks and feels the same except the
seed pod.
