Trifolium geminiflorum Greene, Pittonia, 3: 216. 1897.? 



No. 7892, colleeted May 29, in sand along the Sacramento 

 at the bridge near Redding. This is perhaps the form which 

 Greene mentions as growing at "decidedly lower than subalpine 

 situations in Amador Count}' * * with from 5 to 15 Sowers 

 to the head, and otherwise somewhat closely verging upon T4 

 variegatumy The calyx is 20-nerved, while in the type of the 

 species, which Lojacono described from a specimen collected by 

 Lemmon in the Yosemite, it is "lo-nerviis (nervis aliquando 

 copiosis)." 



Trifolium variegatum Nutt.; T. & G. Fl. N. A. 1: 317. 

 1838. 

 No. 7964, collected June 5, a short distance below Shasta 

 Springs, Siskiyou county, where it is locally abundant, growing 

 in dense mats, the stems low, branching from the base. The 

 original was from "springy places near the mouth of the Wahla- 

 met," and our plant answers fairly well to the description of it, 

 but the description would equally fit almost any related plant. 



Trifolium spleiidens Heller, Muhlenbergia, I: 115. 1905. 



No. 6691, collected May 7, 1903, at Pacific Grove, Monterey 

 county, in damp grassy places in the pine woods where it is 

 abundant. It is even handsomer than T. wonnskjoldii which 

 is also plentiful there in certain places. T. splendens is local 

 the writer never having seen it from any other place. It is near 

 T. appendiculatwm Loja., and perhaps may not be distinct 

 lyojacono's excellent discription was not at hand when this was 

 published. 



Trifolium watsoni Loja. Nuovo Giorn Bot. Ital, 15: 186. 

 1883. 

 No. 7581, collected March 22, on the ridge east of South 

 Butte, Marysville Buttes, where it is plentiful at medium eleva- 

 tions. This is not typical, as the calyx is uncolored, has more 

 numerous veins, the lobes narrower, and the flowers white with
