Specimen of Plant.— J.L., Harston2 — Trifolium glomeratur3 is the name of the specimen you have forwarded. Baron Von Mueller remarks that it extends as a native plant from the south of England to the Mediterranean Sea. Being an annual, it shrivels up in the heat of summer, when good pasture plants are most needed, so it would not likely be an important acquisition to our pastures, the plant, moreover, being small. Still, we have no local experience with this little clover. Perhaps it may so readily ripen seed, and rise so early again, as to be available through a great part of the year. Stock are fond of it.
