hawthorn. It seems to have been originally

some flowers occur throughout the year. 
They had been noted from May 8th to 
November 27, and on February 20. ”Kiss- 
ing’s out of fashion when the gorse is out 
of bloom”— old saying. A nuisance in waste

28. On watered lawns, December 30. A 
common clover of little fodder value.

lawns. 
138. AA—T. dubium. September 23- 
December 13 and on watered lawns— Dec- 
ember 30. A small clover with a few yellow

Clover). November 29-March 4. On watered 
lawns April 7. Spreads by prostrate rooting 
stems. Common in lawns where it is diffi-

resemblance to a strawberry. 
140. AA —Trifolium tomentosum (Wool- 
ly Clover). September 17-November 28. 
Grows in Victoria Square. 
141. AA—T. resupinaturn. Identified by

pretty little spreading red-flowered clover is 
common on the lawns along North Terrace 
and in Victoria Square. 
142. AA—T. repens (White Clover). 
Fragrant, sometimes faint. September 10- 
April 14. Some may usually be found in 
flower throughout the year. Common in 
lawns in spring and, if watered, in summer 
also. It is a spreading and rooting species

pink flowers. Some consider this to be the 
Shamrock.

growing at Botanic Park.
