north-west of the town of Cromer, and in dangerous proximity to the 
line of lodging-houses on the cliff. I found it difficult to discriminate 
the two species, unless the pods were sufficiently developed. Gene- 
rally speaking Medicago eu-falcata had its flowers of a brighter and 
deeper yellow than those of M. sylvestris , which were of a dingy 
yellowish-brown, particularly when growing at the base of the cliffs. 
There were individual specimens of eu-falcata , where pure violet- 
coloured flowers were growing on the same stem with equally pure 
yellow flowers, but the same was not noticed to occur with sylvestris. 
The most characteristic plants were those collected on the 1st of 
September, the stations for these being a slight distance inland some- 
what protected from sea breezes ; those collected on the 2nd and 4th 
occurred on the debris of fallen cliffs, which are all composed of sand 
at Cromer, and in such stations individual plants would cover patches 
two to three yards in diameter. More often than not the branches of 
the two species were interlocked. Medicago sativa never occurred 
with them, but it was not infrequent along the edges of cultivated 
fields along the cliffs.” — C. Bailey, Dec., 1871. 
Medicago falcata. “Old ballast, Hartlepool, now thoroughly 
established, having occurred for many years. It is quite an extreme 
form, the legumes being scarcely curved, certainly far from sickle- 
shaped.” — F. Arnold Lees, 1872. 
“ Trifolium; Molinerii, Balb., is abundant, generally growing down 
the face of the cliffs. I noted it on eight points of the coast.” — R. 
M. Rogers, 1874. “I saw this plant abundant in many places by the 
coast between Kynance and Cadgwith.” — W. H. Beeby, June, 1872. 
Trifolium Bocconi. “ I searched in vain for this except in the 
one very limited locality near Cadgwith. I do not think it can exist 
now either at Caerthillian or near Old Lizard Head.” — H. M. Rogers, 
1875. 
Trifolium suffocatum , L. “ Plentiful last summer near Deal 
Castle by the sides of the paths, and on the dry turfy ground near the 
beach.” — J. F. Duthie, May, 1875. 
“ T. strictum, L., I could only see at Caerthillian, Cornwall, 
June, 1872.” — "W. H. Beeby. “ I believe has not been found except 
at Lower Piadanack (I gathered it there in 1857 and 1858) for many 
years past.” — W. M. Rogers, 1874. 
Trifolium repens, L., var. Townsendi. “ Sandy ground, Tresco, 
Scilly (figured some time ago in the ‘ Journal of Botany’). I saw this 
plant also growing in the Island of St. Mary’s, but very sparingly.” 
— W. H. Beeby, June, 1872.
