The Flora of Wiltshire, 



substitution of the wood-sorrel (Oxalis) which was the original 

 shamrock. 



[5. T. ornithopodioides (Linn.) Birds-foot Trefoil. Engl. Bot. t. 

 1047, has been observed on the side of Bound way Hill, near 

 Netherstreet (North-west District) by Miss Meredith. 



The only locality at present recorded for Wiltshire. This species 

 rarely occurs inland, its favourite localities being dry gravelly 

 places near the Coast. I should be obliged to any correspondent 

 for specimens.] 



6. T. fragiferum (L.) Strawberry Trefoil, so called from fraga 

 (Lat.) strawberries, and fero (Lat.) to bear : the heads when in 

 seed much resembling those fruits. Engl. Bot. t. 1050. St. 16, 8. 

 Locality. Damp pastures, on peat or clay, not unfrequent. P. FL 

 July, August. Area, 1. * * 4. 5. 



South Division. 



1. South-east District, " Alderbury," Mr. James Hussey. " Ames- 

 bury," Dr. Southby. 



North Division. 



4. North-west District, " Chippenham," Dr. Alexander Prior. 

 " Damp fields at Bromham," Miss Meredith. In the lane leading 

 from Bromham to the " New Inn," Seend. 



5. North-east District, About Swindon and Purton. "Oreat 

 Bedwyn," Mr. William Bartlett. 



The heads of flowers nearly globose in flower, but completely so 

 in fruit are then an inch in diameter, and often more or less 

 coloured, so as not unaptly to represent a strawberry. 



7. T. procumbens (L.) procumbent or Hop Trefoil, the dense 

 many flowered heads resembling hops when in fruit. Engl. Bot. t. 

 945. St. 15, 15. 



Locality. Dry pastures and borders of fields. A. Fl. June, 

 August. Area, 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Not unfrequent in all the Districts. 

 This is well distinguished from the following by its large dense 

 hop-like heads of flowers, and the standard which is striated when 

 old. 



8. T. minus (Sm.) Lesser Hop Trefoil. Engl. Bot. t. 1256. 

 T.flliforme (Koch.)
