Alien. On tlie borders of fields, as an escape from cultivation. Local. A. 

 April- August. 



First record. The only localities in whicli I have met with T. incarnahun 

 are Snelsmore and G-reenham Commons near Newbury, where in 1838 

 it grew in the turf not far from the roadside in many parts of the 

 Commons, and by an inexperienced botanist, who was not aware of the 

 plant being cultivated in the neighbourhood, would certainh- have been 

 supposed to be wild. ... It grew in a scattered manner, and was always 

 very starved and stunted in its growth, Anna Worsley (Eussell), inPhijt.

This plant is frequently cultivated on the Lower and Upper Greensand. 

 and a field of it in full flower is a very beaiitiful sight. 



With the red-flowered plant a white-flowered forna is occasionally to be 

 met with, the var. stramikeum, Presl, not T. MoJinerii, Balbis, Cat. Hort.

Messrs. Sutton sell large quantities of the white-flowered Tn'folium, which 

 has the advantage of coming into use a little later than the ordinary red 

 Trifolhan, and atfords a successive crop.
