 years." (Ayme.) 



28152. Medicago sp. 



From Baku, Caucasus, Russia. Received through Mr. Frank N. Meyer, agricul- 

 tural explorer, June 13, 1910. 



"(No. 784, May 26, 1910.) A perennial medicago of creeping habit; it has small 

 racemes of blue flowers and small, scanty leaves. Grows on most remarkably dry and 

 stony places and remains green after the other vegetation has turned brown'. It is 

 eagerly browsed by sheep and goats. As the climate around Baku is almost arid, 

 this medicago may prove to be valuable in some of our driest sections of the 

 Southwest." (Meyer.)
