- Observation Clover individuals showed little home-neighborhood advantage.
- Observation Most variation was within genets, interpreted as plasticity.
- Association Grass neighbors mainly influenced clover size.
- Association Origins and genets mainly influenced clover shape.
- Mechanism Shape differences partly reflected unequal relative growth of parts.
- Mechanism Size differences reflected similar modification of all growth rates.
