Tremella mesenterica, Retzius. 



From Europe to Australia. Arrayed by Dr. L. Planchou with the 

 fungs fit for human food. 



Trichodesma Zeylanicum, Brown. (Pollichla Zeylanica, F. v. M.) 



From Abyssinia and Southern Asia to extra-tropical Australia. An 

 annual herb, perhaps available for green manure. The dromedaries 

 show an extraordinary predilection for the herb (Giles). Several other 

 species deserve trial for fodder-growth. 



Trichostema lanatum, Bentham. 



California, where it is called the " Black Sage." A half-shrub, 

 recorded by Mr. A. J. Cook in his "Bee-keepers' Guide" among 

 important honey-plants. 



Trifolium agrarium, Dodoens. (T. aureum, Pollich.) 



The Perennial Yellow Clover or Hop- Clover. All Europe, North- 

 ern Africa, Western Asia ; wild in Norway northward to lat. 63 26' 

 (Schuebeler). Of considerable value in sandy soil as a fodder-herb. 

 It is easily naturalized. 



Trifolium Alexandrirmm, LinncS.* 



The Bersin-Clover. North-Eastern Africa, South-Western Asia, 

 South-Europe. Much grown for forage in Egypt, where it is used as 

 the main-fodder. On the Nile it gives three green crops during the 

 season, each up to 2 feet high. Seeds of this and other clovers must 

 be sifted, to free them from any of the destructive Dodder-plants or 

 Cuscutas. About 20 Ibs. of seed are required for an acre (Morton). 

 Recorded as annual. 



Trifolium alpestre, Linn& 



Europe, Western-Asia. Perennial. Content with lighter soil 

 than that needed for most clovers, but the constituents must be fairly 

 marly or limy. This clover is early out and very palatable to herds 

 and flocks (Langethal). 



Trifolium fragiferum, Vaillant. 



The Strawberry-Clover. Europe, North- Africa, Middle and North- 

 ern-Asia. Indigenous in Norway to lat. 59 55'. A perennial 

 species, well adapted for clay-soils. Foliage closer and more tender 

 than that of the white clover, but its vegetation later (Langethal). 

 Morton recommends it for moist sandy soil. It delights in ground 

 much wetter than suits most other clovers ; it spreads over humid 

 pastures most readily, with a growth more luxuriant than that of 

 white clover, consequently stands the summer-heat better, smother- 

 ing most other plants and covering the ground with a thick and close 

 herbage. Cattle are very fond of it, and fatten well on it (Geo. Black). 



Trifolium furcatum, Lindley. 



California. A stout and somewhat succulent spesies, with large 

 flower -heads. Affords good pasturage (A. Gray), and gets
