stipules auricled or not, broadly ovate to lanceolate, foliaeeous or 

 membranous ; umbels 4 to 8-flowered ; bract as for L. incanus Greene ; 

 flowers 1 to 1.2 cm. long on pedicels 2 to 4 mm. long, differing from 

 those of the species mentioned above only in having short-triangular 

 or subulate calyx teeth 1 (2) mm. or less long; corolla white veined 

 with rose ; legumes not more than 3 cm. long and between 2 and 3 mm. 

 wide ; seeds as for the preceding species. 



Tn the form represented by Kellogg 's Hosackia halsamifera, viscid- 

 glandular hairs which exude a yellow resinous substance are scattered 

 over herbage and fruit, and the entire plant is said to be remarkably 

 fragrant. 



Hillsides and mountain slopes of the Coast Ranges from Monterey 

 County to Mendocino County, thence eastward through Shasta and 

 Butte counties to Amador County, and south into Mariposa and Tulare 

 counties. Less frequent in the Sierra Nevada than in the Coast 

 Ranges. Distribution Map 1. April-July.

 The specimen does not differ from the type essentially, save in its 

 stipules which are too small and scarcely auricled enough." Jepson

Var. subglaber Ottley n. nom. (pi. 63, figs. 2-8). Prostrate to 

 erect ; nearly glabrous ; underside of leaflets glaucous, with scattered 

 hairs usually shorter than for the species; pedicels 1 to 2 mm. long; 

 calyx turbinate, with ciliolate triangular teeth; corolla white deeply 

 suffused with rose; legumes 1.5 to 4 cm. long, 3 to 4.5 mm. wide. 



Borders of woods of the plains, hills, or mountains of Sonoma, 

 Mendocino, Humboldt, and Del Norte counties, from sea level into the 

 Transition. Extends north into Washington. Distribution Map 1. 

 April-July. Undoubtedly the type plant described by Eastwood as 

 Hosackia rosea is a small low much branched form of this variety. 

 Other plants labelled "Hosackia rosea" by Eastwood (Eastwood 105 

 and 1686) are larger than the type and resemble some of the Tracy 

 sheets cited below which represent the natural type more nearly than 

 does the artificial type, i.e., the Eastwood original specimen.
