In almost every one of our recent Numbers we have 
had to record a new perennial Lupine, from the stores of 
Mr. Douglas. We have now to add another to the list, 
scarcely inferior in beauty to any that have preceded it. 
** It is very local in its range,” as we are informed by 
our enterprising friend, ** growing only in gravelly soils in 
North California, invariably under the shade of solitary 
pines or oaks among coppice-wood. It is common near 
Fort Vancouver, flowering in May and June. Its nearest 
affinity is with Lupinus laxiflorus of the present work." 
Our drawing was made in the Garden of the Horticul- 
tural Society in August last.
