For this pretty new species of Ononis we are obliged 
to Mr. William Young, who received the seeds from Mr. 
Philip Barker Webb; in the Garden of which gentleman, 
at Milford House, near Godalming, it flowered in April 
last. The seeds had been collected by Mr. Webb, in 
Teneriffe.

food to those animals.— Smith in Rees.
