These may be found in herbaria under the following names: 
7. Macraet albopurpureum, T. Macraet, T. dichotomum, T. col- 
umbinum, T. albopurpureum, T. ciliatum, T. Macraei var. d- 
chotomum, T. neolagopus, T. albopurpureum var. neolagopus. 
The character of the calyx having two of the teeth joined 
higher up on the tube than the others is frequent in xeolagopus, 
but it may also occur in columbinum. 
The figure of the vexillum of 7: neolagopus on page 210 of 
North American Trifoliums, by McDermott, does not resemble 
the species. It is broad and inflated at the base and not emargi- 
nate at the apex. An examination of Heller 7835, from which 
the drawing was made, will show no such vexillum. In the 
lower figure one recognizes at once the vexillum of columbinum. 
Also in that work the northern localities mentioned under “spe- 
cimens examined” of albopurpureum var. neolagopus forma ar- 
gillorum should be placed with columbinum, while the southern 
ones are good meolagopus 
We have grown the plant without difficulty in the grounds 
here, both outside and in the greenhouse. Althongh it is 2- 
ovuled, we have never found more than one seed developing in 
the pod. McDermott no doubt takes for granted that both 
ovules produce a seed. The species is abundant in southern 
California, both in the coast and interior counties, preferring 
rich dry soil, and has little to recommend it for introduction as 
a forage plant.
