112 THE PEAFLOWER TRIBE. 
In dry pastures, on banks and waste places, in central and southern 
Europe to the Caucasus, extending northward into southern Sweden. 
Diffused over nearly the whole of England and southern Scotland, very 
rarein Ireland. Fl. all summer. 
9, T. Bocconi, Savi. (fig. 253.) Boccone’s C.—Very near 7’. striatum, 
but the stems are erect or nearly so, 2 to 6 inches high; the stipules 
narrower ; the leaflets narrow-oblong, spathulate, or nearly linear; the 
flower-heads more oblong, usually 2 together at the summit of the stem, 
and sometimes 1 or 2 besides, on short, lateral branches. Flowers 
. much like those of 7’. siruatum, of a very pale colour, the calyx rather 
less hairy. 
In dry pastures and waste places in southern Europe, and here and — 
there up western France. In Britain only on the Cornwall coast, near 
the Lizard Point. Fl. summer. 
10. T. scabrum, Linn. (fig. 254). Rough C.—Very near 7’. striatum, 
and not always easy to distinguish from it. Usually more procumbent 
and less hairy, the leaflets not so broad, the flower-heads more in the 
axils of the leaves, and the stipules of the floral leaves less prominent ; 
but the chief distinction lies in the calyx, of which the teeth are broader, 
more rigid, and usually spreading or recurved after flowering, giving 
the plant a stiffer appearance. Flowers small and whitish. 
In dry pastures and waste places, in central and southern Europe to 
the Caucasus, scarcely extending into northern Germany. In Britain, 
chiefly near the sea, in England, eastern Ireland, and eastern Scotland, 
but less common than 7’. striatum. Fl. all summer. 
11. T. strictum, Linn. (fig. 255). Upright C.—An erect annual, 
seldom 6 inches high, and perfectly glabrous. Stipules very broad and 
thin. Leaflets narrow. Flower-heads solitary, or 2 or 3 on each 
stem, pedunculate above the last leaves, small and globular. Flowers 
very small. Calyx campanulate, the teeth subulate, quite glabrous, 
and about the length of the corolla. Pod ovoid, generally 1-seeded, 
projecting from the calyx. 
In dry pastures and waste places, scattered over central and southern 
Europe, from the Atlantic to Transylvania. In Britain, confined to the 
Channel Islands and the coast about the Lizard Point. Fl. carly summer. 
12. T. glomeratum, Linn. (fig. 256). Clustered C.—A small, slender, 
spreading annual, glabrous or nearly so. Stipules short, with a subulate 
point. Leaflets broadly obovate. Flower-heads small, globular, closely 
sessile in the axils of the leaves or at the ends of the branches. Calyx- 
teeth short, broad, very pointed, and rigidly recurved as the pod ripens. 
Corolla of a bright pink, very small, but longer than the calyx-teeth. 
On dry heaths, pastures, and waste places, very abundant in southern 
Europe to the Caucasus, and extending more sparingly along western 
France to the southern and eastern counties of England, and Wicklow 
in Ireland. J. early summer. 
13. T. suffocatum, Linn. (fig. 257). Suffocated C_—A very small 
tufted annual, with procumbent stems often scarcely developed, and 
seldom more than 2, or at most 3,incheslong. Leaflets glabrous, obovate, 
on long, slender footstalks. Flowers small, closely sessile, in little 
dense heads, crowded along the short stems, close to the ground. Calyx 
thin, with fine recurved teeth ; the corolla very minute. 
In dry pastures and sandy or gravelly places, especially near the sea, —
