Summary:
Thanks for observations Smith made on [unnamed] specimens. Sends seeds and seedpods of 'Trifolium macrorhizum' and 'T. officinale' for Smith to determine whether they are distinct or not. His own opinion, based on his experiences of growing them, is that 'T. macrorhizum' is a variety of 'T. officinale'.
