7689 to 7765— Continued. 



7754. Trifolium lappaceum. 



"Specimen from the grounds of the Danish consulate, Mustapha. This 

 plant is one of the less vigorous of the genus. It has a somewhat reclining habit 

 of growth; stems seldom more than 12 to 15 inches long, rather soft and deli- 

 cate. This plant is common in waste places in the vicinity of Algiers." 

 (Scofield.) 



7755. Trifolium glomeratum. 



' ' Specimen found near Oued Smaar, Algeria. This plant has a creeping, 

 or at least an inclining habit of growth; is found on roadsides or in waste 

 places; is as yet of no particular importance as a forage plant." {Scofield.) 



7756. Trifolium pallidum. 



"Specimen from the garden of the School of Medicine of Algiers. This 

 plant is common in the fields and waste places along the coast near Algiers; 

 it resembles T. pratense somewhat in habit of growth, though it inclines to be 

 smaller and less vigorous." (Scofield.) 



7757. Trifolium panormitanum. 



7758. Trifolium repens. 



"Specimen from nursery of Mr. Labatut, of Tizi Ouzou. It grows to a 

 height of 8 to 10 inches from its creeping stem; produces seed freely; leaves 

 and stems bright green; very succulent." (Scofield.) 



7759. Trifolium spumosum. 



' ' Specimen found growing wild near botanical station at Roui'ba. The plant is 

 an annual, vigorous and succulent, with rather weak stems, sometimes reaching 

 a height of 20 to 24 inches under favorable conditions, i. e., in soils of lime- 

 stone origin; the root nodule development is very pronounced. So far as 

 known this plant is not yet cultivated, but it has the appearance of being of 

 great value should it be introduced and somewhat improved by selection. It 

 seeds very freely, producing grains somewhat larger than T. pratense." 

 (Scofield.) 



7760. Trifolium stellatum. 



' ' Specimen from near botanical station at Roui'ba. This plant is very com- 

 mon along the roadsides and in the waste places of Algiers. It is not of great 

 importance as a forage plant. It seldom reaches a height of more than ten 

 inches, and the stem branches very little." (Scofield.) 



7761. Trifolium tomentosum. 



7762. Vicia sativa. 



' ' Large seeded variety. ' ' ( Scofield. ) 



7762a. Vicia sativa. 



" A. small seeded variety." (Scofield.) 



7763. Vicia sativa. 



" Specimen from the garden of the School of Medicine of Algiers. There 

 are very many varieties of this species growing wild in Algiers." (Scofield.) 



7764. Vicia hirta. 

 From Tessala, Algeria. 



7765. Vicia sativa, var. macrocarpa. 



" Specimen found in grounds of Danish consulate, Mustapha Superieure. 

 This is doubtless the variety known as 'Macrocarpa,' but very little is defi- 

 nitely known about the varieties of Vicia sativa. They grow in very large 

 numbers, and attempts to classifv them have up to the present time been 

 fruitless." (Scofield.)
