74 LEAFLETS. 
L. HYPOLEUCUS. Smalltuftedalpine perennial, the multicipi- 
tous caudex scarcely woody, the long petioles and scarcely longer 
stems slender, canescently villous, as also the leaves above: 
leaflets 7 to 9, unequal, somewhat elliptical, the largest } inch 
long, densely white-villous beneath and that face somewhat 
concave: racemes short, of about 3 whorls of middle-sized deep- 
purple flowers, the petals subequal, keel not much curved, 
retrorsely villous-ciliolate from below the middle almost to apex. 
Near the summit of White Chief Peak, Mr. Culbertson, 16 
July, 1904, being n. 4416 of Baker’s distribution somewhat like 
L: Danaus as to size and habit, but with shorter peduncles, 
shorter racemes, and foliage remarkable for a dense white indu- 
ment covering the lower face only. The same is in U. S. Herb. 
from Mt. Goddard, by Hall & Chandler, n. 707, collected in 
July, 1900. 
L. HypoLasius. Low alpine perennial not cespitose, the stout- 
ish stems very leafy and suberect from the branches of the short 
caudex ; petioles slender, leaflets 5 to 7, very unequal all broad 
and obtuse, cuneate-oblong, } to 4 inch long, appressed-villous 
above, densely villous-tomentose beneath: racemes short, subses- 
sile, the short peduncles stout ; whorls of flowers 3 or 4: corolla 
purple, + inch long, petals equal, keel falcate, retrose-ciliolate 
above the middle. 
Farwell Gap, Calif., at 10,000 feet, C. A. Purpus, 1897, his n. 
5221 as in U. S. Herb. Well distinguished from all other 
alpine lupines of the district by its stout upright habit, subses- 
sile racemes and broad leaflets. 
Lors CUPREUS: Low slender flaccid and nearly glabrous 
perennial, the decumbent stems only 5 to 8 inches long, leafy 
throughout: lowest leaves of but 3 cuneate-obovate truncate or 
retuse leaflets, the leaflets of the others 5 to 7 and cuneate- 
oblong, acutish; stipules of all small, herbaceous, more or less 
distincly ovate: umbels little exceeding the leaves, the lowest 
bractless and only 1 or 2-flowered, the others with 3 or 4 flowers 
subtended by an unifoliolate bract quite like the ordinary leaflet: 
calyx turbinate, the triangular-subulate teeth shorter than the 
tube: corolla short, not longer than the breadth of the broad
