38 LEGUMINOSM. 



in. long ; banner short, yellow ; wings rose-red, shorter than the white 

 keel : pod 1 in. long, nearly glabrous : seeds 6 or 7, compressed, angu- 

 lar. — At middle altitudes of the Sierra, from Yosemite northward. Our 

 handsomest Lupine ; first collected by Mr. Charles H. Stivers, an early 

 member of the California Academy, and friend of Dr. Kellogg. 



6. L. sparsiflorus, Benth. PL Hartw. 303 (184:9). Branched from the 

 base, erect, slender, 1 ft. high or more, canescently-pilose or hirsute : 

 leaflets 5—9, linear, }.^ — 1 in. long : upper calyx-lip deeply cleft : corolla 

 violet, 5 lines long ; banner shorter : pod }4. — 1 in. long. — Foot-hills of 

 the Sierra, from Sacramento Co. southward. 



7. L. leptophyllus, Benth. Hort. Trans, n. ser. i. 409 (1833), Bot. Reg. t. 

 1670. Slender, erect, sparingly branched, 1 — 2 ft. high, villous : leaflets 

 8 — 10, narrowly linear, 1 — ^% in. long, glabrous above: racemes elon- 

 gated : upper calyx-lip narrow, deeply cleft : fl. % in. long, petals nearly 

 equal, purple. —Same range as the last. 



8. L. citriims, Kellogg, Proc. Calif. Acad. vii. 93 (1877). Slender, 

 branched from the base, a span high, pubescent : leaflets 6 — 8, linear- 

 spatulate, % — % in. long : raceme short-peduncled, rather dense : upper 

 calyx -lip cleft, the lobes acute ; lower minutely 3-dentate : corolla yellow ; 

 wings obtuse, nearly as broad as long : pod glabrous, 4-seeded : seeds 

 compressed, "rhomboid." — Fresno Co., Eisea. Perhaps related to L. 

 Sl.ivcrsi, though possibly belonging to the next section. Dr. Kellogg's 

 description does not enable one to decide. 



-1— -I— Annuals ; flowers more or less rerticillale. 



9. L. micrauthns, Dougl. in Bot. Reg. t. 1251 (1829). Rather slender 

 and weak, branched from the base, 6 — 18 in. high, pilose-piibescent, not 

 at all succulent : leaflets 5—7, narrowly linear to liuear-spatulate, %~1}4. 

 in. long, on petioles twice as long : raceme peduncled, verticils 3 — 5, often 

 indistinct: pedicels l^g lines long (in fruit 3 lines); upper calyx-lip 

 with divergent lobes ; lower long, entire ; corolla 2 lines long, blue, except 

 the white and dotted middle of the erect mucronulate banner, the white 

 spot changing to light blue ; wings narrow appressed ; keel woolly-ciliate 

 toward the apex : pod 5-seeded : seed quadrate oval, whitish, with or 

 without minute light brown dots. — Common everywhere ; but not at all 

 agreeing with either the figure or description in the Botanical Register : 

 and the type was from a very different and quite distant region of our 

 western country, the upper Columbia River. 



10. L. polycarpus, Greene, Pittonia, i. 171 (1888). Erect, stoutish, 

 rather succulent, 1 — 2 ft. high, with firm ascending branches from midway 

 of the stem, pubescent : leaflets 7, narrowly oblanceolate, 1 in. long ; 

 glabrous above : racemes with 4 — 7 very distinct verticils ; pedicels 1
