130 LEGUMINOSAE 



Large specimens of TL minor, Kotli, are often called TJ. Gallii, so named 

 after Le Gall, author of the Flore de 3Torl>ilian, published in 1852. As the 

 Ulex provincialis of Loiseleur Deslongchamps is synonymous with TJ. 2>arvi- 

 Jlortis. it is a question whether our j)lant should not be called TJ. provincialis, 

 Le Gall. It is evident that the portion of the Flore de 3Iorhihan in which it 

 is described was printed before Planchon described it in the Annals, from the 

 fact that the page is numbered as it appears in the published Flora. At any 

 rate, the publication of the two names is synchronous. 



U. Gallii is recorded for all the bordering counties except Bucks and 

 Gloucestershire.
