Description:Excerpt from Muhlenbergia, Vol. 9: A Journal of Botany, Issued at Irregular Intervals; 1913-1915 Some time has elapsed since our last paper of this series was published in Muhlenbergia. Since then we have had the privilege of studying for several months at the herbarium of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, London, while on sabbatical leave from the University of Nevada. Our attention in the herbarium was given exclusively to the clovers, and copious notes were taken from the types of American species. The publication of Miss L. F. McDermott's book entitled "North American Trifoliums," under the supervision of Professor Jepson, of the University of California, led us to believe that a satisfactory treatment of the genus could not be made by a study of herbarium specimens alone, but that the different species would have to be watched from the seed to maturity. This feature of the work is now in progress both in the field and greenhouse, and a number of new and interesting observations have been made. Drawings of each species have been made under our direct supervision by Mr. L.T. Shannon, a student in the University, They are very complete and accurate, and consist of a drawing of the entire plant; a seedling; the variations in the shape of the leaflets within the species; a floret in full bloom; a floret just after blooming; the calyx tube and teeth spread out; the vexillum; the legume and the seed These illustrations will not be used until the monograph is completed for publication.
