Hab. On the Blue Mountains of North-West America, and on the Dividing' Ridge of the Rocky Moim- 

 tains, near the confines of perpetual snow. Douglas. — I regret that I possess no notes from Mr. Douglas 

 made from the recent plant of this beautiful species of Lupine, which its discoverer has honoured with the 

 name of his friend and patron, Jos. Sabine, Esq. I have heard him incidentally regret tliat he was not able to 

 send seeds of it to England, for that it was among the most beautiful of the genus, and from its elevated place 

 of growth, near the limits of perpetual snow, very hardy. I think, too, to have heard him say that it was 

 suffruticose. 



20, L, sulphureus; erectus, caule erecto angulato-sulcato sparse foliisque (valde) sericeis, 

 foliolis 12-14 anguste lanceolatis basi apiceque acuniinatis, bracteis subulatis deciduis, flori- 

 bus verticillatis ebracteolatis, calycis valde sericei basi subgibboso labio superiore bifido, 

 inferiore longiore integro. — Douglas^ MSS. in Herb. Hort Soc. 



Hab. On the Blue Mountains of North-West America, and on elevated grounds near the source 

 of Clarke's River. Douglas, — This has some affinity T^nth the foregoing, yet appears to be a distinct 

 species. It is a much slenderer and smaller plant in every respect ; the leaves are whitish, the leaflets more 

 ntunerous and narrower, the flo^^ers smaller and of a pale sulphur-colour.
