82 Eastwoop: SOME NEW SPECIES OF CALIFORNIAN PLANTS 
involucre glabrous, very small, of 2-5 separate, laciniate-aristate 
bracts, 2-4 mm. long: flowers 1 cm. or so long, on pedicels less 
than 1 mm. long: calyx open-campanulate, with subulate aristate 
divisions a little longer than the tube ; tube membranous between 
the strong veins: corolla long and slender; banner with 3 rounded 
teeth at the truncate apex ; wings slender, as long as the banner, 
auriculate at base of blade; keel two thirds as long, tipped with an 
obtuse erect beak, the keel itself purple, auricled at base: ovary 
obovate, pilose at summit, I-ovuled. 
This seems to be the nearest to 7. pauciflorum Nutt. from 
which it differs in habit, pubescence, leaves, flowers, ovary, etc. 
It is one of the clovers which carpet the ground in the higher 
meadows on the trail to the south fork of King’s River. It was 
collected by the writer at Summit and Bearskin Meadows, July 
I-13, 1899. The first named specimens are considered the type 
specimens. Type in the herbarium of the California Academy of 
Sciences.
