3-2-31 Clockwise. Spines slightly brownish. Wings def. longer than leaf. Calyx, peduncles v petioles with few hairs (as hair veins of young lvs). Stipules declinent. This fits modern in all forms. (Note discrepancies bet. Bar. v Cato.) but wings longer than leaf seems to put it in #839-40 Cato I 336 which Kn II 74 covers as M. luteipila Gaehtn forme denticulata. But note peduncles much shorter than lvs. 3-2-31 Medicago trunculata Gaehtn [crossed out] #6 forme tribuloides Kn II 92 = M. tribuloides Lamk Bar 119, Box 75 = M. tribuloides Dear Cato I 337 Fl v young fr. R?leithie slightly west of Portale or bet Portale & Cas Catala'. Pod spirals counter- clockwise. Peduncles shorter (often much shorter) than lvs. Hence not M. littoralis. Pod with def. Coric, (yors) not hooped spines. Fr. not advanced enough to make distinctions as in Barcels bet M. trun- culata Gaehtn & M. tribuloides Lamk but Kn seems to suggest only the latter found in Balearics. Fls sometimes 3. Fl about 6 mm overall. Terminal lft .5+ by 15-mm. Note: general appearance much like ?? Medicago Murex Wild var. sphaerocarpa of 2-25-81 whose pod coils clockwise.
