S ummary1 Evidence of delayed germination was obtained. 2 The number of leaflets in each of the firat six foliage leaves of sainfoin seedlings shows considerable variation. The mean number of leaflets in each of the second to the sixth foliage leaves is significantly greater in giant sainfoin than in common sainfoin. 3 Giant sainfoin tends to produce erect stam and flower in the seeding year, the amount of flowering being variable. Common sainfoin remains prostrate and never flowers. 4 Common sainfoin produces more tillers than giant sainfoin. 5 The origin of the giant and common varieties is discussed.
