45. Homalobus gaviotus (Elmer) Rydb. comb. nov. 

 Astragalus gaviotus Elmer, Bot. Gaz. 39: 54. 1905. 



This species is referred with some doubt to this group as the 

 flowers have not been seen. The pod is strigose, nearly straight 

 on the upper suture, the stipe is shorter than in the other species, 

 the raceme is short even in fruit and the leaflets broad. 



California: Gaviota, Elmer 375 q; same locality, Eastwood 5$ 

 (determined erroneously as Phaca canescens Nutt.).
