Commenting on the discovery of subterranean clover in New South Wales in 1896, Mr Maiden, Botanist to the State Government, wrote : "This is not an introduction which need render us uncomfortable." In making this statement, he could scarcely have foreseen that there would be an estimated 20 to 30 million acres of sown subterranean clover pastures in Australia by the 1950s (Davies, 1952).
