in flower and with all the leaflets short, oval and very obtuse, and 
peduncles only half as long as the leaves probably belongs here. A. 
Bodini is the ordinarily well developed form. 
28. Astragalus Yukonis n. sp. Pods immature, oblong-lanceolate, 
acuminate and somewhat arcuate upward, hardly 5 mm. long, ascend- 
ing. Eastwood pods are about 7 mm. long by 3 mm. wide, broadly 
oblong, round to a little oblate in cross-section, 2-3 seeded, thin, 
Short-hairy, erect, a trifle cordate at base, with strong raised ven- 
tral suture externally, shortly and very obliquely acute. Flowers 
purple, about 8 mm. long, about 5 at the ends of almost capillary ped- 
uncles longer than the leaves. Banner obovate, about 5 mm. long, 
arched abruptly at end of calyx to nearly erect, with sides reflexed 
about 1 mm. wide to tip; white spot triangular and purple veined, 
with the center produced as a white strip to tip of blade, 2-3 mm. 
longer than wings. Wings oblanceolate, oblique, a little arched, 
rounded, about 1 mm. longer than keel. Keel about straight along 
the base, about 4 mm. long, the tip abruptly erect, obtuse and 3 
mm. high. Calyx tube about 2 mm. long, slightly oblique at both ends, 
nearly equally inserted, the triangular teeth about as long. Pedun- 
cles about 1 mm, long and equaled by the bracts. Pedicels 5-7 
cm. long, in the upper axils. Leaves 2-5 cm. long, all rather long- 
petioled, innumerable, narrow. Leaflets 3-5 pairs, oval to elliptical, 
rarely 5 mm, long, rounded, ashy with rather coarse stiff white hairs. 
Sparse, appressed. Internodes very many, rarely 1 cm. long. Stems 
petioles and peduncles almost capillary, stems very many from a 
stout and erect root, much branched and forming delicate mats often 
a foot or two wide. Stipules small, rarely 3 mm. long. Though the 
pods are immature the plant is clearly new. No. 1082 Gorman from 
Ranch valley near Fort Selkirk on the Yukon in moist meadows, Jnly

29. Astragalus Bourgovii Gray Proc. Am. Acad, 6 227 (1864) Pods 
fully 15 em long exclusive of the 2 mm, long stipe, from flattish to 
D^^rly round in cross-section, 45 mm. high, half-ovate-lanceolate to 
obliquely oblong-oblanceolate, acute at both ends. Flowers ascend- 
ing, few, racemose, stout and thick, about 1-1.5 mm. long, purple. 
Banner 7 mm. long, ovate-oval, short and abruptly arched at the ends 
of the calyx teeth to 90 degrees. but little longer than the keel, with 
sides much reflexed. Wings little shorter than the banner, lanceolate, 
a. little arched 1 mm. wide, narrower than keel. Keel 7 mm. long. 
Straight, sharply rounded, 2 mm. shorter than the banner, purple aabove, 
with tipe erect. acute and 3 mm. high. a trifle shorter than the wines. 
Calyx tube oblong-campanulate, 3-4 mm. long, narrowed below, with 
mouth scarcely oblique, with teeth triangular to filiform-subulate and 
about half as long as tube. Pedicels slender, mostly twisted and with 
pod inverted, about as long as the calyx teeth and about 2 mm. long in 
flower, but the lower fruiting pedicels often 1 cm. long. Bracts ovate 
to subulate, delicate, 1 mm, long. Peduncles almost filiform, nearly 
all terminal, much longer than the leaves, about as long as the 
stems, 10-15 em. long including the short rachis. Racemes short, spi- 
cate in flower. with about 5-10 flowers. Leaves not over 7 cm. iong, 
slender, with lower petioles about as long as the leaf rachis. Leaflets 
acute at both ends, narrowly elliptical to oblong or lanceolate, not over 
1-1.2 cm. long, 4 mm. wide, of 7-8 pairs, puberulent, nearly contiguous, 
reduced only at the ends of the leaves. Stinules scarious, 4 mm. long 
nearly wholly connate. Stems 1-2.5 dm. high, ascending, with inter- 
nodes not over 2-8 em. long. Root woody, crowned by many filiform 
and subterranean stems which form loose mats. Pubescence strigulose, 
SParse and short. This has the habit of A. aboriginum and resembles 
A. debilis but the leaves are more rakish and the leaflets sharp. Saw- ve
