This Lupine has been described by Dr. J. G. Agardh, 
in the valuable little work above quoted, from a wild specimen 
communicated by me, and which had been collected in 
California, by Mr. Douglas. It is apparently distinct from both 
L. rivularis and L. littoralis, to which however it approaches 
| more nearly than to L. polyphyllus. It isa hardy perennial, 
flowering-in July and the two following months. 
In the work above referred to Dr. Agardh has described 
76 certain species.of this pretty genus, besides adverting to 
7 others of which little is known. Of the former 34 are in 
Mr. Douglas' collections. 4
