upper part acuminate - triangular; leaves 3 to 4 inches long, the 
stout petiole being 1 to 1% inches long; leaflets 4 to 7 pairs, oblong- 
linear or narrowly oblong, rounded at top and cuneate at base, 1 to 
4 lines wide and 6 to 16 long; earliest peduncles very short, % to 1 
inch long, spike 1 to 2 inches long, and so appearing sessile among 
the leaves as in Sophora-sericea, later peduncles often 4 inches long 
and the spikes 3 inches in addition, latest peduncles as short as the 
earliest ones; bracts scarious, ovate or lanceolate, acuminate, as long 
as the calyx tube, hirsute; calyx campanulate, equaling the subulate 
teeth; flowers light yellow, keel sometimes purple tipped, 4 lines 
long, erect; pods erect, 4 lines long by 2 lines wide and less than 1 
line thick, slightly exceeding the calyx and its lobes, hoary, the tip 
slightly incurved, elliptical, rounded at base and barely acute at tip, 
obcompressed, flattened at base, ventral, suture prominent, neither 
suture incurved, one-celled, chartaceous; seeds several, large. The 
oldest leaves and stems are sometimes only pubescent.

FRASERA UTAHENSIS. Intermediate between paniculatla ud al- 
bomarginata. Upper stem leaves reduced to small bracts, lower 
opposite, 3 to 4 inches long and nearly 1 inch wide at the ovate 
clasping base, tapering gradually to a slender point; root leaves 
clustered, 1 inch wide at base and somewhat contracted and grad- 
ually tapering to a point, or lanceolate from a slightly contracted 
base and long acuminate, nearly 2 inches wide in this case, distinct- 
ly 3-nerved and indistinctly 7-nerved; stems 3 to 5 feet high, erect, 
widely branching (at right angles to the stem) toward the top, 
branches opposite and a foot or more long; whole plant glabrous; 
pedicels flexuous % to 1 inch long in flower and in fruit lengthen- 
ing to 3 inches; all the flowers show a decided tendency to become 
erect by the curving of the lower pedicels; calyx lobes generally 
_ broadly ovate, acute or abruptly acuminate, whitish margined, 1% 
to 2 lines long, enlarging somewhat in fruit; corolla yellowish green 
and purple spotted, lobes 4 lines long, oblong-obovate, obtuse, and 
_ with rather ragged margin; gland above the middle, much broader 
than long, with a prominent tooth in the middle, yellowish, glab- 
rous on its face or only slightly hairy, fringed on the edge, base 
confluent into a pair of coronal crests which are bilamellate and dis- 
- sected into flattened subulate segments which terminate in long
