^troites oblongues - lanc^olees, longuement acuminees, les plus 
grandes atteignant 6-7 cent, de long ; pedoncules 2-4 flores ; 
capsules plutot petites,” which appears to he near this plant, which 
we should call E. europaeus, var. a?igustifolius. — G. C. D. Mr.

Medicago deriiiculata, Willd. Long spined form, canal bank, 
near Ford, S. Lancs. (59), Sept. 1903. — J. A. Wheldon. Casual 
here. Var. lappacea (Lam.), I believe. — E. S. Marshall. I think

Medicago. Waste ground near Bootle, S. Lancs. (59), Sept. 
1903. This pretty little species also occurs at Birkenhead, 
Cheshire, whence I have had it sent as M. minima., from which 
it differs in its laciniate stipules, less hairy and broader leaflets, 
and loosely coiled pods. — J. A. Wheldon. I think this is 
M. litoralis, Rhode. — G. C. D. The Rev. W. R. Linton was at 
first inclined to think it Af. praecox, DC., but afterwards referred 
it to M. lappacea. Mr. E. G. Baker asks if it can be starved M. 
denticulata ?
