This species has been often confounded with the pre- 
ceding species, from which it may be distinguished by the 
more slender and longer corolla tube glabrous within 
except slightly hairy near the mouth, by the glabrous 
style, the bright yellow or orange-yellow color of the 
corolla, by the thinner and generally smaller leaves, by the 
uppermost connate pair not being furnished with a glau- 
cous bloom above and not thickish and by the distinctly 
peduneled, solitary spike. L. flava seems to have at 
present entirely disappeared from cultivation. The plant 
which is now usually cultivated in gardens under this name 
is either L. Sudlivantii or in other cases an apparent 
hybrid of L. flava with L. hirsuta or of similar parentage.
