Hab. a. and /3. Frequent in gravelly soils about Fort Vancouver. Douglas. — The gibbous or saccate 

 base to the calyx of this species is very remarkable; in the var, a, it ahnost becomes a spur, though not so 

 represented in the figure above quoted, which on that account, as well as in the narrowness of the leaflets, 

 agrees better w-ith what I here make the var. ^. than ^-itli my original specimen of L. laxiflorus received 

 from Mr. Douglas.
