This Lupine is one of fourteen new species, mostly 
perennials, which have been discovered by Mr. David Dou- 
glas, in the north-west of North America, along with the 
Lupinus sericeus of Pursh. The latter, and many of the 
others, have been raised in the Garden of the Horticultural 
Society, where our drawing of the present species was 
taken in July last. They will próve some of the most 
valuable additions that have been made to our garden 
collections for many years. 
L. polyphyllus is nearly related both to L. perennis and 
Nootkatensis, from which it obviously differs in its much 
greater stature, and lanceolate leaflets, which vary from
