For this pretty new species of Ononis we are obliged 

 to Mr. William Young, who received the seeds from Mr. 

 Philip Barker Webb; in the Garden of which gentleman, 

 at Milford House, near Godalming, it flowered in April 

 last. The seeds had been collected by Mr. Webb, in 

 Teneriffe. 



* From ov«?, an ass, and ounut, to delight ; implying that it is grateful 

 food to those animals.— .S/«j7/4 in Rccs.
