Procumbent Rest-Harrow, Wild Liquorice. 
French, Bugrane des Champs. German, Feld Haucchel. 
Section II].—NATRIX. Wonch. 
Peduncle often elongated, 1- or several-flowered, with the 
pedicels articulated to it. When there is only a single flower, 
there is thus an articulation beneath it. 
SPECIES IIl.—ONONIS RECLINATA. Lina. 
Puate CCCXXXII. 
Rootstock none. Stem ascending or decumbent, with numerous 
weak spreading branches, without spines, glandular-hairy all 
round. Leaves all trifoliate; leaflets oblong-obovate or obovate, 
denticulate only at the apex. Flowers solitary, axillary, in a short 
compact raceme at the termination of the branches. Pedicels 
longer than the calyx, at length hooked so that the calyx droops 
after flowering. Calyx with the lower segment much shorter than 
the others. Corolla about as long as the calyx. Pod drooping, 
oblong-cylindrical. Seeds numerous. 
In sandy places. Very rare. Among the débris at the foot of 
a cliff overhanging the rocky shore three miles north-west of the 
Mull of Galloway, Wigtownshire: and between the Hermit Rock 
and Corbelet’s Bay, and on the hills of Mauney, near La Trieve, 
Alderney. There can be but little doubt, however, that the 
Scotch locality found by Professor Graham is one where the plant 
is not indigenous. 
[Scotland.] Channel Islands. Annual. Summer. 
A small plant, the British examples which I have seen not 
being above 2 inches long; but on the Continent it sometimes 
attains the size of 6 inches. Leaflets + to 4 inch long, tapering 
towards the base, acutely toothed at the rounded or subtruncate 
apex; middle leaflet stalked. Stipules large, half-ovate, adhering 
for the greater portion of their length to the leafstalk. Peduncles 
slender, ascending, with the articulation marking the commence- 
ment of the pedicel near the apex; pedicel first straight and 
ascending, but after flowering curved sharply round. Calyx very 
deeply divided, the 4 upper lobes elliptical-lanceolate, the lower 
one which is much shorter, linear-lanceolate. Flowers 2 inch
