LEAFLETS. 43 
New Plants from Middle California. 
The greater part of the species herein defined form a portion 
of a most interesting collection made this year in the mount- 
ains of Tulare County, California, by Mr. J. D. Culbertson, and 
the specimens were communicated to me for determination by 
Mr. Carl F. Baker, who has in hand the distribution of them 
to herbaria. 
The series of diagnoses begins with a small list of new mem- 
bers of the difficult genus LUPINUS. 
L. CuLBERTSONII. Low perennial, not alpine, neither de- 
pressed nor compactly tufted, but subacaulescent, 6 to 10 inches 
high, with decidedly thinnish foliage and scarcely canescent 
with a sparse pilose or villous hairiness ; petioles long and slen- 
der, leaflets 5 to 7, almost elliptic oblong, cuspidately acute, 
2 inch long or more; peduncles scapiform, bearing the long 
raceme just above the foliage, commonly with a solitary leaf 
toward the base: racemes 2 to 4 inches long, crowded and ob- 
scurely verticillate; corolla rich purple, less than A inch long, 
banner little shorter than the other petals, keel narrow, slightly 
falcate, retrorse-ciliolate. 
Forks of the Kaweah River, at 8,000 feet, July, 1904, Mr. J. 
D. Culbertson. With the habit of the familiar Z. minimus, 
but totally different foliage and pubescence. From Summit 
Lake, at a higher altitude, Mr. Culbertson has the same more 
pubescent (n. 4552). 
L. DASYPHYLLUS. Perennial, the stout simple stems strongly 
striate, villous, very leafy; leaves large, short-petioled, the lance- 
linear leaflets (the basal ones cuneate-oblong, very obtuse) 2 
inches long, acute, rather loosely villous-hirsute on both faces: 
racemes sessile, 4 to 6 inches long, the large flowers obviously 
verticillate, their long linear densely villous bracts not cadu- 
cous: calyx and pedicels densely long-villous: corolla 4 inch long, 
purplish, banner smaller than the other petals, keel narrow and 
little curved, naked, or with a few loose hairs above the middle. 
Farwell Gap, at 10,000 feet, 3 Aug. 1904, Mr. Culbertson, n. 
4272 of Baker’s distribution. Species uncommonly well marked, 
its near affinities not obvious; the specimens too fragmentary.
