A specimen of this rare plant was sent to me by the Rev. 
Mr. Swayne, dectininsasien by the following observations. « A 
var. of Trifolium Nees with'a yellowish white ower, found 
in a field belonging to Tracy Park, near Bath. I am confident 
it is a var. of Tr. pratense, as it exactly resembled that species 
in every et but colour, and was the only plant of that colour 
in the whole eld; indeed the only one [have ever seen.’ 
On comparing the specimens sent by Mr. Swayne with the 
Tr. pratense, and Tr. ochroleucum, I am persuaded that his opi- 
nion is perfectly right. ‘The 'structure in all respects cit ntepciids
