The original description of this very distinct species was 

 made from one of the slender forms, as it describes an annual, 

 very slender and diffuse. Personal observation of it in the field 

 in Plumas county, California, where it grows in dense mats 

 under the pines, proves it to be a stout prostrate perennial, not 

 particularly slender. The plants from Yosemite Valley and vi- 

 cinity are more slender and fewer flowered than the Sierra and 

 Plumas county specimens. 



Lojacono, in his paper entitled "Revisione dei Trifogli dell' 

 America Sette^tri<)nale, ,, in Nuovo Giorn. Bot. Ital. 15: 143, 

 extends the distribution of the Mexican T. amabile H. B. K. by 

 including one of these stout forms of T. Breweri sent to him by 

 Lemmon from Sierra Valley. Two plants, probably of the same 

 collection, and similar to the one Lojacono mistook for T. amab- 

 ile, are labeled Sierra county, Lemmon, 1875, nos. 51 and 60.
