TkIKOMUM CII.IOI.ATUM Ik'Ulll. 



No. 8506, collected May 7, on hills west of Los Gatos, Santa 

 Clara county, in orchards, elevation about 750 feet. It inhabits 

 grassy gravelly slopes as a rule. The flowers are dull rose, the 

 banner almost erect, the wings ascending and spreading, stand- 

 ing away from the keel, the hooded portion of which extends 

 into a short erect point with a broad base. 



Trifouum dichotomum H. & A, Bot. Beech. 330. 1840. 



No. 8554, collected May 23, about three miles beyond San 

 Mateo, San Mateo county, on the Half Moon Bay road on a 

 grassy bank. This was sent to Profes.sor Kennedy, who .sa^'s it 

 is the plant named variety titrbinatum by Jep.son, Fl. West. Mid. 

 Cal. 306. 1901. To me this ])lant appears as if quite distinct 

 from the plant with which Jepson placed the var. tnrbinatiim^ 

 as well as from real dickotomitm^ which latter is well represented 

 I think by my no. 7316, collected in 1904, and probably by C. 

 F. Baker's no. 2797, collected in 1903. 



Trifolium Hallii Howell, Fl. N. W. Am. 135. 1898. 



Trifoliiim bifidiun\-diX. decipiens Greene, F^'l. Fran. 24. 1891;

No. 8477, collected April 27, on gra.ssy hillsides in gravel 

 pnder trees back of Alum Rock Park, Santa Clara county, ele- 

 vation about 900 feet, the plants slender. It is common in Santa 

 Clara county, and probably in all the other counties about the 

 Bay. Under T. Hallii Howell gives "open places and prairies, 

 western Washington to California.'" 



No. 8559, collected May 23, about three miles beyond San 

 Mateo, San Mateo county, on the Half Mdon Bay road, on an 

 open grassy bank in stiff black soil, the plants large and stout,
