lanceolate, the lower about >^ longer than the upper : corolla 

 purplish-blue ; banner with a light spot, glabrous. 



This species is nearest related to L. holoscriceus, but the corolla 

 is lighter and the pubescence of the calyx is spreading. It is also 

 lower and more cespitose, resembling more L. candicans in habit, 

 but has much smaller flowers.

 I mm. high, densely pubescent with two kinds of hairs, viz., a

 cm. long, also pubescent with spreading hairs ; leaflets 7-9, ob- 

 lanceolate, densely appressed, yellowish hairy on both sides, 4-7 

 cm. long ; stipules setaceous, deciduous : raceme long and dense, 

 many-flowered ; bracts subulate-filiform, much exceeding the buds ; 

 pedicels and calyx densely hairy with short spreading hairs : flow- 

 ers about 16 mm. long : lips of calyx ovate-lanceolate ; the lower

Lupinus adscendens sp. nov. 



Perennial : stem 4-6 dm. high, appressed silky, leafy : petioles 

 5-10 cm. long, ascending, also appressed silky ; leaflets about 7, 

 linear-oblanceolate, 4-5 cm. long, acute, appressed silky on both 

 sides but green ; stipules subulate : racemes elongated, narrow ; 

 pedicels strongly ascending, rather long hairy : flowers about 1 2 

 mm. long : calyx grayish silky ; the lower lip slightly longer than 

 the upper : bract linear-subulate, much longer than the buds,
