/ have added a few of my own discoveries. I will answer your question point by point. 



f^: If Our Cuscutas could have come from other countries. Although the Province 

 Vercelli is mainly aghcultural and in this respect one of the most fruitfut in Sardinien it 

 must be said that the revolution of the culture methods as well as introduction of new 

 methods and tools , and new seeds nowhere has had as little promotion and 

 encouragement as here. This is obvious to a man from Lombard, (because I am from 

 Milan and the political events of 1848 forced me to flee from where we had land). 

 Trifolium incarnatum which grows from Tessin to the Adriatic see and particularly in the 

 hilly countries sen/es as excellent ensilage for over 13 years now has just become 

 accepted here in the last couple of years- foreign nonsense- and after some 

 experiments well known. But at least one could consider exchange with North America. 

 Pertinent is also that our Cuscutas have been found in places that are considered 

 wilderness or turned wild. First Prof de Notaris found these plants in meist marsh lands 

 around Truate and in an Nowarese desert but now they are on the military road to 

 Milan. He could not determine the species because the flowers were still in bud.
