The plant referred to by Baker and Moore (in Journ. Linn. 

 Soc. xvii. p. 381) as a probable variety of Vicia pseudo-Orobus, 

 Fisch. et Mey., is apparently Orobus venosus, "Willd. (Vicia 

 venosa, Maxim, in Mel. Biol. ix. p. 66), a Siberian species ; and 

 there is a specimen of another Orobus in the Kew Herbarium, 

 collected by James in Shingking or Northern Corea, which may 

 be O. vernus, Linn., = Lathyrus vernus, Koch; but these widely- 

 spread Viciece present such a diversity of forms that they are uot 

 easily determinable, except from very complete specimens.
