Var. torrejd Ottley n. comb. (pi. 67). Hirsute-pubescent becoming 

 glabrate; leaflets oblanceolate or obovate, usually obtuse, those of the 

 uppermost leaves often elliptical or oval and acute at both ends; 

 flowers 1 to 1.5 cm, long. Although of the same general appearance 

 as L. pinnatus Hook, easily distinguishable from that species by the 

 hirsute pubescence, the short-turbinate calyx tube, the petal claws 

 only obscurely exserted beyond the calyx tube, and the broad obtuse 

 keel. 



Common in damp or wet situations of the north Coast Ranges and 

 in the Sierra Nevada from Modoc County south to Kern County.
