218 CORRESPONDENCE OF RAY. 



minori, Moris. \Carduus leucographus, Linn.], I take to 

 be very different from the Card. Maria Airs, maculatm 

 \Silybum marianum, Gaert.], growing so copiously about 

 Clerkenwell, whose head is little inferior for bulk to the 

 more common with milky veins. 



Page 120. Queer. Whether the Anagallis aquatic, 

 major folio oblongo, C. B. P. \Veronica Anagallis ^ Linn.], 

 be not clearly omitted. As for the Aquatica major foliis 

 subrotundis \Veronia Beccabunga, Linn.], perhaps it may 

 be only a luxuriance of the minor under the same 

 denomination. 



Page 108. Queer. Whether the Leucommluteum \_Chei- 

 ranthus Cheiri, Linn.], upon walls, be not a different plant 

 from the Leuc. vulgar. Jl. simpl. \CheirantUus Cheiri, 

 Linn.] growing in gardens. It seems to me to be much 

 more woody, with larger flowers : the leaves glaucous, 

 and extremely rigid or stiff, qualities not to be observed 

 in the garden kind. 



Page 133. I ever took the Trifol. pumilum supin. 

 Jlosc. long, alb., Phytol. Brit. [Trifolium ornithopodioides, 

 Linn.], to be very applicable to the Trif. siliquis ornitho- 

 podii nostras ; and perhaps the author of this name meant 

 no other thing by it. The flowers are long, slender, and 

 piped ; they are of a most immaculate Avhite (though 

 your description seems to put them to the blush), and 

 often with three on a stalk ; which number of short and 

 curved pods succeeding, does make out a pretty resem- 

 blance of a bird's claw ; and I am fully persuaded the 

 Trifolium parvum album monspeliac. cum paucis foribus, 

 J. B.* is no other than this Bird's-foot Trefoil, which in 

 my Catalogue I have made a synonyme for it. As for the 

 Trif. subterr. tricocc., whereunto you incline to apply the 

 phytologist's title, it is true it has indeed the same sort 

 of white fistulous flowers ; but withal it has such a sin- 

 gularity in the mode of growing, as thrusting the stalks 



* This name, and T. pumilum supin. fl. &c., a few lines back, are now 

 referred to T. sulterraneum, Linn., in common with T. subterr. tricocc.
