: 4. Trifolium montanum. 
Trifolium pratenfe ii. Dur. Herb. p. 1014 (ed. Germ. 
ccr on c Ufféubacb. 1619. Franc. ad Moen. 4°.) 
- This Trefoil, which undoubtedly is the montanum, C. Bauhin 
has quoted under his Trifolium pratenfe purpureum. Buüt'as he is in 
every refpeét inaccurate, he has termed it Trifolium pratenfe alterum; 
and called his author by his Chriftian name Ca/fore, inftead of his 
furname Durante. ` 
In all old authors, the Trifol. montanum always follows after 
the pratenfe, under the name of album or acutum, or elfe, which is 
the moft common, pratenfe alterum or pratenfe album: and the 
figures of it have likewife had the fame fate and changes, as I have 
before mentioned of thofe of the pratenfe. However, the montanum 
was not fo early known; for it does not occur in Roefslin’s Herbal, 
nor in the firft edition of Egenolphi Imagines, or of Loniceri Hif- 
toria. Among this fet of figures it appears for the firft time in 
Ryff's edition of Diofcorides, printed at Frankfort on the Mayne, 
by Egenolphus, in 1543, folio: otherwife, the firft figure I have 
feen of it is in Fuchfii Hiftoria publifhed the preceding year. This

in filence the careleffnefs of C. Bauhin with refpect to this plant, 
as indeed to almoft all others: for he has quoted Trifolium majus 
i. Cluf. Pann. p. 761, and Hifl: vi. p. 245, both under his Trifolium 
montanum album, Pin. p. 328, which probably is the genuine monta- 
nums and under his Trifolium pratenfe album, Pin. p. 327, which all 
authors have taken for the repens. Further, under this his 77jfo- 
lium pratenfe album, he has cited Fuchfius, Matthiolus, Lon Icerus, 
Turner, Camerarius, and Laguna, all of whom certainly. meant the
