From Jerusalem, Palestine. Presented by Mr. E. F. Beaumont. Received 

 July 19, 1912. 

 Seeds of the following: 



34147. Medicago coronata (L.) Gaertn. 



"I am very much impressed with the A'ery hardy character of this. It 

 is found in all localities and especially on rocky mountain sides where the 

 soil is only a few inches deep on the rock. This year the later rains were 

 practically a failure, a fact which further shows its drought-resisting qualities. 

 Although its seeds are small, it reseeds with ease." (Beaumont.)

 through Italy and Greece to Asia Minor and Syria, and in northern Africa.
