THE GARDENING WORLD. 
July 2, 1892. 
is generally used for it in this country, and also the 
plants that are sent over from Ireland to this country 
about St. Patrick's day. Trifolium repens is sold in 
Covent Garden Market for the Shamrock, and 
Medicago lupulina is sent over from Ireland to their 
friends in this country. Possibly Trifolium minus 
is also used for the same purpose. The first two are 
undoubtedly used, but authorities differ as to the 
identical species of plant used by St. Patrick, so that 
the case must remain unsettled beyond the fact that 
it was a plant having the leaves divided into three 
leaflets.
