P. F. Yeo have also given us the benefit of their considerable experience in our attempts 

 to sort out the taxonomy of sainfoin. D. B. Baker helped us to pinpoint original 

 localities for Melitta dimidiata. We are also grateful to D. B. Baker and C. R. Vardy 

 for discussing the manuscript. 



Finally we would like to thank the Army Conservation Group chairmen Maj. 

 R. H. Warren (Imber), Lt. Col. C. Stuart Nash (Larkhill) and Maj. N. Payne (Bulford) 

 for arranging permits for us to enter the respective training areas.
