Wildflowers of Ainsworth: Tick Trefoil

It's nice to come across a late-summer wildflower I haven't featured yet that isn't ugly as sin.

I assume the "Trefoil" comes from their triple leaflets, but where the "Tick" comes from, I don't know. There are numerous species of Tick Trefoil, and I'm not sure which species this is, because it doesn't look exactly like any of Newcomb's drawings. All I know is for sure is, those blossoms are pretty.
