Type in Herb. Col. Coll. : 
A large quantity of western material has been assigned to this 
species by collectors and authors, none of which has so far been 
found to agree with Nuttall’s description or his own type specimen, 
in regard to the short peduncle, numerous small leaflets glabrous 
only on the upper surface, and the broad stipules of very nearly 
€qual size with the leaflets. |
