308 23, LEGUMINOS.E. 



Native. Glareal. Very local ; occurring in different 

 spots near the Land's End and the Lizard Lights, in 

 Cornwall, and at Dartmouth, in Devon, By the road-side 

 between Penzance and the Land's End, where I first dis- 

 covered this species, it grew in rather damp ground, and 

 the plants were much finer than those observed on a dry 

 bank in the Lizard. This latter locality is within the 

 fiftieth degree of latitude, as explained on page 60.

Native. Sylvestral, &c. In fields, banks, borders of 

 woods, &c. An intermediate link between the British and 

 Germanic types; being rather too infrequent, and too 

 eastern in its prevalence, to be very properly assigned to 

 the British type. Possibly the estimate of 50 counties 

 may be too high ; but it appears to be known in about 40 

 already, and may occur in some others.
