 Anthistiria. 



INDIA CLOVER. 



The most valuable grass in the country is not a proper 

 grass, but, like the English clover, is a leguminous plant. 

 It is a species of hedysarum, " which in India," says Dr. 

 Wight, " supplies the place of the species of Trifolium 

 and Mcdicago in Europe." In other words, the farmer 

 rinds it a good substitute for clover and lucerne ; and there 

 as another leguminous plant at Tavoy, Smitkia sensitiva, 

 which is said to make " excellent hay."
