The new Purple Clover found in Cornwall. 
Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester, Aug. 21, 1866. 
I have a few heads ot disk Purple Clover figured in your * Journal of emi 
t. 13, whieh I found on some of the Cornish headlands near St. Auste 
you. 
I have looked. here in vain for Woolfiia arrhiza. Mr. Carruth ers showed 
found ies different places, all ne ar away from cultivation, a 
Geranium which I isk help t thinking i is 8. redis Of this plant also I 
have seeds. It is sparingly distribut South Cornwall, some 
miles on either side of Charlestown, near St. Austell. ‘Tf my soaring of 
the species is correct, the plant must be truly wild. 
Yours, ete., A. H. CHURCH.
