The late John Atkinson, Esq. of Leeds, detected Apion astragali on this plant in one of the lanes at 
Kippax, and communicated it to the author of Lepidoptera Britannica, (A. H. Haworth, Esq.) by whom 
it was described in the Transactions of the Entomolo^cal Society of London, vol. 1, p. 339, a work now 
become extremely scarce. The writer of this note, in June, 1824, accompanied Mr. Atkinson to the 
above locality, but the plant had been eradicated and consequently the insect could not be found. That 
neighbourhood is, however, to the Botanist and Entomologist, a very interesting one.

cera Hippocrepides, and Zylina conspicillaris, (the Silver Cloud,) feed on this species.
