' S. PxiTENS. Shrubby, like tlie preceding, but the stem 

 low, and branches spreading horizontally; silvery-canescent 

 throughout: leaflets 4 — 5, obovate-oblong. rather acute: 

 umbels numerous, sessile, bractless: corolla as in the last 

 species; calyx with very short teeth: pod 6 — S lines long,

 nearly straight beak. 



Island of San Miguel, in the Canon del Mar, but more 

 abundant on the summit of the islet known as Gull Island, 

 a mile or more off the shore. Of very different aspect as 

 compared with its kindred species of Santa Cruz; and there 

 is a difference of another kind quite as striking as any men- 

 tioned in the specific character. The Santa Cruz species 

 was in full fruit at the begining of July. That of San 

 Miguel was just well in flower two and a half months later: 

 and the two islands are not more than forty miles apart.
