"The Botanic Gardens of Madrid have represented in their collection a large num- 

 ber of grasses and fodder plants, and the head gardener, Mr. Luis Aterido, has kindly 

 furnished us with a collection of seeds of sixteen species of Medieagos, some of which 

 may prove of value for breeding purposes. They are as follows: 



9734. Medicago lupulixa. 



9735. Medicago rigidula. 



9736. Medicago gerardi. 



9737. Medicago lacixiata. 



9738. Medicago ixtertexta. 



9739. Medicago disciforms. 



9740. Medicago orbicularis. 



9741. Medicago texoreaxa.

9748. Medicago falcata. 



9749. Medicago scutellata. 



"Among these, several are indigenous to Spain and all of them have a greater or less 

 value as fodder plants. They are mostly annuals, however, and are therefore limited 

 in value for direct use." (Fairchild.)
