having more spires in the fruit, were reserved for further 
consideration, but they were gathered at the same time as 
[761], — J. E. Little. This is what I regard as M. denticulata 
Willd. (M. hispida Gaertn. subsp. polymorpha Willd. ; M. 
denticulata G. and G. of Rouy). It is the commonest form of 
M. liispida sensu lato in this country. — E. Drabble. Coste 
adopts M. poiycarpa Willd. as the name and M. hispida, 
Gaertn. as the synonym ; while G. Bonnier reverses the order. 
A large number of forms have been described as species which 
differ from one another in the breadth of the fruit and the 
strength of the spines. As they are weeds of cultivation these 
characters would vary. I should place this to M. hispida 
(M. poiycarpa). — J. Fraser. 
Medicago hispida Gaertn. [761]. Great Wymondley, 
Herts., Aug., Sept., Oct., 1928. — J. E. Little. 
Medicago arabica Huds. (Legumes). Near Foxholes, 
Hitchin, Herts., July 6, 1928. — J. E. Little. These pods are 
not mature, but I believe they fall in respect of the length of 
the spinules under the same as [953], as do all the British 
specimens that I have hitherto met with. “ Var. longispina 
Rouy. Epines subulees, tres arquees, egalant environ la 
largeur du legume.” — J. E. Little. 
Medicago arabica Huds. [953] ? var. longispina Rouy 
(legumes). Great Wymondley, Herts., Oct. 1928. — J. E. 
Little. Correct as far as the spines go for the type. The long 
spined form appears correct. I gathered it in the parish of 
Kew in 1888. The spines are not hooked. — J. Fraser. 
Trifolium squamosum L. Sea bank, Uphill Wharf, N. 
Somerset, June 22, 1931. — H. S. Thompson. Yes ; squa- 
mosum L. ( maritimum Huds.) ; beautiful material. — E. 
Drabble. My copy of the Species Plantarum spells the name 
squarrosum, and Coste does the same. G. Bonnier accepts 
T . maritimum Huds. and describes a sub-species T. panormi- 
tanum Presl. with oblong, emarginate leaflets. H. S. Thomp- 
son’s specimen agrees with this. — J. Fraser. 
Trifolium arvense L. Pale greenish-white form, conspicuous 
from a distance. Burnham Golf Links, N. Somerset, July 16, 
1931. — H. S. Thonrpson. 
Lotus corniculatus L, var. hirsutus Rouy. On the Chesil
