and pink on the same raceme, darkest near tlie base. Calyx 

 silky, two-lipped, witli an extremely minute bracteola ; the 

 upper lip emarginate, the lower entire. Corolla about the 

 size of L. perennis. Pods narrow, straight, rather shaggy, 

 contracted lound the seeds. 



A very beautiful perennial Lupine, introduced from Cali- 

 fornia by the Horticultural Society, and hitherto but little 

 known It has been called in the Society's Garden a dirarf 

 Lnpinus rivularis, and I find the specimens in my herbarium 

 marked as '■'very near L. rivularis' in the hand-writing of 

 Dr. Agardh. Nevertheless, tlie affinity of the species seems 

 to be less with L. rivularis than with L. nootkatensis, for it 

 has nothing of an arborescent habit. 



Independently of that mark of distinction from L. rivu- 

 laris it has a stem not even half the size, sweet-scented flowers, 

 and shaggy legumes. 



The decumbent liabit of this species renders it well suited 

 for a bed in a flower-garden ; it produces a great profusion 

 of its pale, many -coloured flowers, breathing the sweet per- 

 fume of the field bean, during all the months of May and 

 June; after which it ripens its pods, and remains shabby 

 for the rest of the year.
