3. L. crassifolius Greene (pis. 64 and 65). Tall erect perennials 

 (sometimes attaining a height of 12 dm.) ; bright green, glabrate, the 

 young herbage with densely matted short arched hairs; stem broad 

 and fistulose; leaves long; leaflets 7 to 15 (rarely all opposite), oval, 

 rhombic, or obovate; stipules scarious, narrowly or broadly ovate; 

 umbels many-flowered, peduncles shorter than the leaves ; bract as for 

 L. stipularis Greene ; pedicels varying in length from more than 1 mm. 

 to almost 1 cm. ; flowers 1 to 1.5 cm. long ; calyx teeth usually very 

 short and subulate-triangular, although occasionally as long as in 

 Tj. stipidaris; corolla greenish yellow marked with dark red; legumes 

 3.5 cm. to 7 cm. long by 3 mm. or more wide — larger than for any 

 other species of the Calif ornian Loti. 



Foothills and mountains from San Jacinto Mountains north to the 

 Columbia River. Frequent, often forming a thick rank growth in 

 the Upper Sonoran and Transition, extending in its southern range 

 to an altitude of 8000 feet. Distribution Map 1. May-July.
