Types of LZ. violaceus and L. puberulus in both Herb. Univ. 
Cal. and Herb. Col. Coll.. 
The author’s provisional manuscript name of L. pudberulus was 
adopted by Prof. Greene in his Man. Bot. Reg. San Francisco, be- 
fore we had seen the type of L. violaceus Greene, Since then Prof. 
Greene has kindly furnished us with fresh specimens of what he 
considers both species. Except in the smaller size of the speci- 
mens of violaceus submitted, its serrated rather than entire stip- 
ules, its darker foliage and that the lower calyx teeth are usually 
more drawn into a sinus, we distinguish, however, no specific 
characters sufficient to make “ pudberulus” a distinct species from 
violaceus, in either our types or the fresh material so far examined. 
17a. LATHYRUS VIOLACEUS BARBER N. var. 
A narrowly leaved plant resembling this species more closely . 
than any of the other related western ones occurs in Southern 
California and Northern Lower California. The variety has 
slender, wingless, much branched, climbing or creeping si! a 
glabrous or somewhat pubescent throughout; stipules minute, 
semi-sagittate, acuminate, lanceolate; leaflets linear-lanceolate, 
somewhat obtuse, 1-5 cm. long, I-3 mm. broad, 4 pairs, alternate; 
peduncle somewhat longer than the leaf, 6—15-flowered; flowers 
2 cm. long, reddish-purple, the banner veined with purple, as a 
the species; upper calyx teeth exceeding the tube, lateral aes 
broader and about the length of the tube, the lowest broad and 
much shorter. ¥
