T. arvense Linn. JHare’s-foot Trefoil. 
District — — I ~— ~—- ~— ~ ~ — 
Native. On rocky ground near the sea. Very rare and 
local. Ann. July—September. 
III. In some plenty on the rocks around Foilhomurrum 
Bay below the Cable house near the west end of Valencia 
Island, 1907 (Miss Wooton) R.W.S. 1908—still abundant 
there 1913: Miss Delap. 
First found by Miss Wooton in 1907, and recorded by 
R.W.S. in Irish Nat. 1908, p. 51. 
This is a welcome and rather unexpected extension to the 
Trish range of 7’. arvense. While not uncommon along 
portions of the south and east coasts, it appears to be very 
rare on the west, the nearest recorded localities to its Kerry 
station being Inisheer, one of the Aran Islands off the coast 
of Clare, and Inishturk off Mayo. There are, however, 
several stations recorded for it on the south coast of Cork, 
but most of these are old and need refreshing. 
T. striatum Linn. 
Districts — — — — — — VIL. VI. — 
Native. On limestone rocks near the sea. Very rare and 
local. Ann. May—June. Calcicole A. 
VII. In some plenty on the rocks at Kilfenora, Tralee 
Bay : R.W.S. 1890, and in 1905. At intervals on the lime- 
stone rocks on both sides of Barrow Harbour and on the 
ridges overlooking Carrahane strand to the north, 1902.— 
VIII. Plentiful on a limestone ridge north-east of Rahoneen 
about a mile west of Ardfert: R.W.S. 1891, and in 1902. 
First record in 1890: R.W.S., Journ. of Bot. 
While locally abundant and occurring in two out of the 
nine Districts, the actual area over which this clover really 
extends is very limited indeed ; a space three miles square 
would include all the known Kerry localities. 
T. hybridum Linn. Alsike Clover. 
Districts I. IT. III. IV. V. Vi. VII. VIII. IX. 
Colonist. In meadows, field- and roadsides. Rather 
common. Peren. June—September. 
First record in Cyb. 1898: R.W.S. 
This clover is frequently grown as a crop in Kerry, and 
is found thinly scattered over the county as a survival of, 
or escape from, cultivation.
