15. A. tricJiocabjx (Nutl.) — This is the s.'inic with A. Mfxicanv.s Alnh. 

 DC. (in bine notice pi. rar. Geneve.) from Mexico (Texas?), Berlanaier 

 (v. sp. in herb. Hook.), which being the earliest name must be adopted.

25 {a). A. did ;/mocarpus {llook. 6c Xrn.): somewhat enet, rather hairy ; 

 leaflets about 8 pairs, obovate-oblong, enuirgiiiate [often 2-clefi at the apex] ; 

 stipules small, ovate, niembranaeeous, slightly connate at the base of the 

 petiole; peduncles longer than the leaves; (lowers small, capitate ; teeth of 

 the hirsute calyx subulate, straight, as long as the tube ; legumes [very 

 small] coriaceous, didymous, rugose, the lobes 1-seeded. Hook. \ Am. I

California, Douglas! — Stem 6-10 inches high; the root apparently 

 annual. Hairs of the calyx &c. mostly black. Legumes deeply divided 

 into 2 one-seeded lobes, strongly rugose transversely. 



28. A. multicaulis (Nutt.) — This name is preoccupied by Lcdebour for a 

 species of Altaic Siberia. Our plant may therefore bear the name of A. 

 pubentissimus. 



34. A. leiLcophyllus is Phaca Icucophylla, Hook. S^- Arn. ! I. c. 



35. A. Purshii (Dougl. !) is Phaca moUissima, Nutt. — Douglas's speci- 

 mens were not in fruit.

5. O. Lamhertii. — To this we think Oxyfropis argentata, Pursh ! should 

 be referred, judging from the specimen of Lewis in Mr. Lambert's herba- 

 rium. The plant is not Astragalus argentatus, Pallas! nor is it A. melan- 

 ocarpus, JSutt. ! in Fras. cat.

4 (a). P. Hookeriana : low, canescently pubescent; stems much branch- 

 ed from the base, ascending ; leaflets 7-9 ])airs, oblong or linear-oblong, 

 slightly petiolulale, rallier rigid ; stipules lanceolate, membranaceous; spikes 

 short, on peduncles scarcely the length of the leaves; bracts setaceous, about 

 the length of the verv short jjcdicels; teeth of the calyx subulate, shorter 

 than the tube, and about half the length of the (ochroleucous ?) corolla; 

 legumes very large, inflated, obovoid, obtuse, tapering into a very short 

 stipe, mottled with purple. 



Interior of Oregon, probably near the Rocky Mountains, Douglas! — 

 Stem 5-6 inches Ingh, perenniah Flowers rather small ; the bracts, calyx, 

 and pedicel pubescent with whitish and black hairs intermixed. Ovary 

 canescent. Legumes jierfectly glabrous, thin and membranaceous, obovoid 

 or obovoid-oblong, neariy 2 inches long, whitish and beautifully mottled 

 with purple. — Our specimens are nearly out of flower, but finely in fruit; 

 when the large mottled legumes present a very striking appearance.
