Pamaltela, at least south of the mountains if not more, does not have conventional grasses. Instead, its ground cover is said to primarily be made up by varieties of clover.
The only one of these I know is a "Sweet Clover" in Jolar, but it is not described, so I don't know if it is similar to the real world Yellow Sweet Clover. Presumably it is only one of a wide array of species.
I am used to seeing clover types that are quite water-dependant and prefer more shade (under wooded canopies, etc.), so the thought of Savannah-covering clover is one I'd like to get some help in grokking. Are they as tall as RW savannah grasses, ie. up to over two meters tall? Do they have the characteristic leaves of temperate clovers or am I missing a wide variety of entirely different clovers? Is there a mythical reason why horses can't eat them? (RW explanation would be tse tse flies, not the feed, but the feed is the answer for the lack of horses in Pamaltela, so there we go).
Feel free to spin!
