November 8— 1862. Hop Clover. Of plant in garden, uncovered, 60 heads yielded 9.1 gr of seed. The 60 heads of plants under net were finer & seed plumper & seed weighed 17.7 gr. I suppose this greater weight of seed was some accident of plant being finer, but shows anyhow that insects are by no means necessary to fertilisation of this species. — T. procumbens Hooker Hop-Trefoil
