It was long known as a naturalised plant on the ballast 

 in Shoreham Harbour, and has been found under 

 similar conditions at Cardiff, and in waste ground in 

 one or two other places in England. In one locality 

 it was distinctly associated with grain aliens. 



Trifolimn supinum, Savi. Native of damp places in 

 the East, and a cornfield weed in the same region. 

 Found several times in England as a grain alien. 



Trifolimn tomentosum, L. Common in grassy places 

 in the eastern portion of the Mediterranean area, ex- 

 tending to cultivated fields in Southern Europe. Once 

 recorded in England, probably owing its presence to 

 the importation of grain. 



Trigonella arabica, Delile, An Oriental weed, once 

 recorded in England among grain aliens. 



Trigonella besseriana, Sen Native of Central Europe, 

 and common in some parts of Europe as a weed of 

 cultivation. It has been recorded in several waste 

 ground localities in England in connection with other 

 aliens introduced with foreign grain. 



Trigonella caerulea, Ser. Native on the banks of 

 rivers in Central Europe. A weed of cultivation in that 

 area, and further East. It has been found in England 

 in several localities near cornmills and distilleries in 

 which grain from the East is used. 



Trigonella corniculata, L. Native in maritime pas- 

 tures of Italy and Asia Minor, also a weed of cornfields 

 in many parts of Europe. Once or twice noticed in
