Medicago sylvestris Fr., var. procumhens Fr. =M. cyclocarpa'H.j. 

 [Ref. No. 1352]. Between Mickleham and West Humble, Surrey, 

 August 23, 1914. Growing on the border of a field cropped with 

 lucerne. I have not been able to see any material quite like my plant 

 in the collections at the Natural History Museum, South Kensington. 

 My plant agrees with Fries' description of his variety, and also with 

 the plant called by Rouy M. sylvestris Fries, var. cyclocarpa Hy. As 

 will be seen, the distinguishing features are the long diffuse stems, 

 narrow leaflets, the dusky yellowish-purple corollas, and the ring-like 

 legumes. — C. E. Britton. " I think this a M. falcata x sativa, nearer 

 to sativa in flowers. Young pods with many appressed silky hairs." — - 

 E. S. Marshall. 



Medicago minima Desr. Dry hillside, chalk soil, Hill borough, 

 v.-c. 28, June 11, 1914.— F. Robinson. 



Medicago lupulina L., var. Willdenowiana Koch 1 Roadside, 

 Guildford, Surrey, v.-c. 17, September 1914. — J. Comber. "No doubt 

 the hairs on the pods are glandular, but one can hardly call them 

 'yellowish.'" — A. Bennett. "Yes, fruit glandular. The habit is 

 that of cultivated M. Inpulina^ in my specimens." — E. S. Marshall. 

 "Pods with glandular hairs, i.e., var. Willdenowiana Koch." — C. E. 

 Salmon. 



Medicago lupulina L., var. eriocarpa Rouy. Formby, S. Lanes, 

 v.-c. 59, July 15, 1914. — W. G. Travis. " Agrees with the description, 

 but Rouy makes it a sub-variety." — E. S. Marshall. " Strictly 

 speaking, it is sub- var. eriocarpa Rouy. ' Legume pubescent ou velu ; 

 plante ordinairement fortement pubescente-soyeuse,' and this plant only 

 approaches these characters." — G. C. Druce. 



Trifolium scabrum L. Dry hillside, chalk soil, Hillborough, v.-c. 

 28, June 11, 1914.— F. Robinson. 



Trifolium subterraneum L. Heath land, near water, by Punch 

 Bowl, Croxton, v.-c. 28, May 3, 1914. — F. Robinson. Also from 

 Lancaut, v.-c. 34, June 12, 1913. A rare plant in W. Gloster ; 

 this is a new locality for it. — H. J. Riddelsdell. Also from 

 Colney Heath, Herts, v.-c. 20, May 19, 1913.— J. E. Little. 



Trifolium minus Relh., var. microphyllum Ser. Sandhills, High- 

 town, S. Lanes, v.-c. 69, July 7, 1914.— W. G. Travis. 



Trifolium duhium Sibth., var. pygmaeum Soy. -Will. Foot of 

 cliffs, Arbroath, August 15, 1914. — R. & M. Corstorphine. " Accord- 

 ing to Rouy, this variety was described under the name T. filiforme^ 

 and is the same as T, minus Relhan, var. microphyllum Seringe, in
