Pr/. ///' 4-^ ^. Trifolium resupinatum, Linn. 



Area [* 2 i * 5]. 



Alien or (now) Incognit. Discovered by Mr. Drum- 

 mond, in meadows below Shii'ehampton, near Bristol ; 

 where it soon became extinct. Subsequently found by Dr. 

 T. B. Salter, in the neighboui'hood of Poole, ia Dorsetshire ; 

 where, also, it had become nearly extinct by 1838. I am 

 not aware of any botanist having since met with the species 

 in England. Dr. Salter writes, in the Botany of Poole, 

 "In 1831, I discovered this second British station of Tri- 

 folium resupinatum, X., at the east end of the rope-walk, 

 close by the anchorage at Ham. . . . The plant was always 

 confined to a few square yards in the above-named situa- 

 tion I fear fi-om its being so near the ballast quay, it 



can scarcely be considered indigenous, and I am sony also 

 to add, that of late it has become nearly extinct."
