all subulate, the upper pair rather shorter than the calyx-tube, the 
3 lower ones a little exceeding it. Standard hairy on the outside, 
three or four times as long as the calyx-tube, with an oblong-oval 
lamina. Pods spreading or spreading-reflexed, substipitate, on a 
gynophore much shorter than the calyx-tube, oblong, scarcely 
compressed, acuminated at the apex into a rather long sharp beak 
curved downwards, clothed with long hairs but without papillee, 
at length glabrous. Seeds globular, smooth, with shallow punc- 
tures; hilum oval, twice as long as broad, one-sixth the circumfer- 
ence of the seed. 
Formerly found at Glastonbury Tor Hill, Somerset, where it 
erew with V. lutea; but it appears to be now lost. 
[England.| Annual. Summer and Autumn. 
Resembles V. lutea, but is stouter, with the leaflets broader 
towards the apex, where they are retuse or notched. Calyx with 
the teeth more slender, longer, and less unequal. Flowers 1 inch 
long, yellow, frequently veined with purple; the standard always 
hairy. The seeds, for which I am indebted to Mr. H. C. Watson, 
are larger than those of the last species. I only possess cultivated 
specimens raised from seed sent by Mr. T. B. Flower, said to be 
derived from the descendants of the Glastonbury Tor plant.

SPECIES X—VICIA SATIVA. Linn. 
Puates CCCXCIT. CCCXCIII. CCCXCIV. 
Rootstock none. Stems rather weak, climbing, trailing or 
ascending. Leaves with 4 to 7 pairs of obovate, elliptical, or linear 
leaflets, notched, truncate or abruptly acuminated and mucronate 
at the apex; common petiole terminating in a branched tendril. 
Stipules half-hastate or lanceolate, denticulated or entire. Flowers 
axillary, solitary or in pairs, ascending or spreading-ascending. 
Pedicels much shorter than the calyx-tube. Calyx herbaceous, 
slightly hairy ; tube gibbous at the base on the upper side; teeth 
equal, subulate, about as long as the tube; standard glabrous, 
thrice as long as the calyx-tube, with the lamina roundish. Pods 
ascending or spreading, sessile, sub-cylindrical, compressed, acumi- 
nated at the apex into a rather long sharp beak, slightly curved 
downwards, clothed with very short hairs but without papill. 
Seeds sub-globular, compressed, smooth, dim; hilum linear, one- 
fifth the circumference of the seed.
