WOODRUFFE-PEACOCK : CATALOGUE OF LINCOLNSHIRE PLANTS. 139 
leaves, and grows more upright. ‘The botanical discriminating 
characters are less obvious, indeed not sufficient to make this 
plant more than a permanent variety of Zrifolium pratense L. 
The sheaths are terminated with narrower and longer points, 
which are set with longer hairs. The flower-stalks, as shown in 
our figure, are in general longer and more slender, with an 
evident disposition to grow bent and flexuose. The heads 
of flowers are less crowded with florets, although, apparently to 
the sight, equally as large as the common cultivated clover’ 
[sativum, above]. When young the flower head has the appear-. 
ance of extreme woolliness or pubescence. Last summer— 
1824—when examining the rich grazing lands of Lincolnshire, 
I found this plant to be more prevalent than any other species 
of clover. In clayey districts, and in soils of a peaty nature, 
this species. of clover was more conspicuous than in the alluvial 
soils.’ This variety is found in Divs. 4.9.11. As if to make the 
most utter confusion possible seedsmen have stolen his name 
Perenne, and applied it to satizum, and stolen the common name 
‘Cowgrass’ from 7. medium L. and applied it to sativum, too. 
I believe this variety is the only truly perennial form of pratense 
we have.
