of the British Flora of Sir J. E. Smith. 439 



Smithian herbarium there is a specimen marked " Tangier, 

 M. Durand, 1503," but no note whether cultivated or indige- 

 nous. I do not understand the variety j8. which I have inserted 

 from Hudson ; it cannot be the Summer Tare, for the seeds of 

 that as well as of the Winter Tare are black : these differ in habit, 

 the summer variety coming up erect, whereas the winter variety 

 is more procumbent, a circumstance deserving the attention of 

 botanists.
