Dalea candida is a species of flowering plant in the legume family known by the common name white prairie clover.

[4][5] The alternately arranged leaves are each composed of several narrow, gland-dotted, light green leaflets.

The spike is packed with the pointed green calyces of sepals, the lower ones bearing corollas of white petals and the higher ones blooming later.

[6] Among the Ramah Navajo, the candida variety is used for stomachache and as a "life medicine", especially for fever.

It is classified by the USDA as a "high" nitrogen fixer, a category few native plants fit into.
