250. (3.) Trifolium Chilense, Hook. et Arn. l c. v. 1. p. 16.— 
Conception, Messrs. Lay and Collie; Cuming (N. 115.) 
251. (4.) Trifolium physanthum (Hook. et Arn.); glabrum, 
suberectum, caule brevi simplici, foliolis anguste obova- 
tis spinuloso-dentatis, stipulis ovatis apice spinuloso-la- 
ciniatis, involucro monophyllo lobato spinuloso-denticu- 
lato reticulato capitulum hemisphericum vix excedente, 
calycibus obovatis inflatis membranaceis superne piloso- 
lanatis dentibus setaceis simplicibus tripartitisque corolla 
tubo inflato longioribus, legumine obovato dispermo.— 
Valparaiso, Cuming (N. 148.) —Most allied, perhaps, to 
T. cyathiferum, Lindl. (Hook. Fl. Bor. Am. v. 1. t. 50), 
but it has much shorter and simple stems, different sti- . 
pules, dentato-spinose (not ciliated) teeth to the involu- 
cre, and a very different calyx. The bristles of the 
teeth are brown, pale at the extremities. 
252. (5.) Trifolium involucratum, Willd.—Valparaiso, Cum- 
ing (N. '750.)—Our specimens precisely accord with 
those from the North -West Coast of America, described 
in Hook. Fl. Bor. Americana. 
253. (6.) Trifolium microdon (Hook. et Arn.) ; glabrum, in- 
ferne decumbens, ramosum, foliis obcordatis acute serra- 
tis, stipulis ovatis acuminatis integerrimis, involucris stri- 
atis multifidis capitulo hemisphserico parvo brevioribus, 
laciniis lanceolatis acuminatis 3—4-fidis subspinulosis, 
calycis dentibus brevissimis triangulari-ovatis acutis cili- 
ato-serrulatis corolla brevioribus.— Valparaiso, Cuming 
(N. 141.) —No species of the beautiful tribe of involu- 
crated Trifolia is more distinct than the present. The 
heads of flowers are small, though much larger than 
those of T. microcephalum.
