80 DICOTYLEDONOUS PLANTS. 



duncles, oval ; standard obcordate ; calyx campanulate, short ; seg- 

 ments unequal, smooth, elongated, the upper one smaller ; legume 

 oval, compressed; seeds cordate. 



HAB. Meadows and woods. Perm, to Virg. June Aug. . 

 Stem a foot high. Flowers small, light yellow. 



*** Legume 3~-8-seeded. 



G. T. repens Ijnn. : stem creeping and somewhat rooting, leafets 

 obovate-roundish, somewhat retuse, denticulate ; stipules scariose, 

 narrow-lanceolate, with a long mucronate point ; heads axillary, on 

 very long peduncles ; flowers pedicelled and at length reflexed ; seg- 

 ments of the calyx unequal, shorter than the corol ; legume 4-seeded. 

 HAB. Meadows. Throughout the U. S. May Oct. It. 

 Stem 6 12 inches long. Flowers white. Seeds brown. 



White Clover. 



7. T. reflexum Linn. : pilose ; stem ascending ; leafets ovate or obo- 

 vate, serrulate ; stipules leafy, lanceolate-acuminate ; heads globose, 

 axillary ; flowers on long pedicels, at length reflexed ; segments of 

 the calyx hairy, nearly equal, very narrpw, one-nerved, nearly twice as 

 long as the tube but shorter than the standard ; legume 4-seeded. 



HAB. Dry hills. Penn. to Gepr. June, July. 2^. Whole 

 plant very pubescent. Flowers in large heads, red. In my 

 specimens the stipules are obliquely cordate, as stated by Mr. 

 Elliott. Known at the south by the name of Buffalo Clover. 



8. T. stoloniferum MM. ; stoloniferous, smooth ; lower leaves on 

 long petioles ; leafets obovate or wedge-form, serrulate, retuse or 

 emarginate at the apex ; stipules membranaceous, broad-lanceolate ; 

 flowers in globose heads, pedicelled, erect, at length reflexed ; seg- 

 ments of the calyx nearly equal, narrow, smooth, longer than the 

 tube. 



HAB, N. Y. Penn. W. to the Miss. June. U.Stem 48 

 inches long. Flmcers in middle sized heads. I suspect this is 

 not specifically distinct from the preceding. The specimens 

 collected by myself on the Mississippi, as well as that received 

 by my brother from Dr. Muhlenberg, agree very well with that 

 plant, except in the absence of pubescence, and in the smaller 

 size of the heads of flowers. Running Buffalo Clover.

Calyx surrounded at base by 2 larger bracts, 5-cleft. Carol
