LEGUMINOS.E. 41 



acute, hirsute beneath, glabrous above, 3 — 6 in. long : raceme short- 

 peduncled, dense, 1 — 2 ft. long : fl. subverticillate, long-pedicelled, % in. 

 long and as broad : calyx-lips of about equal length, the upper broader, 

 both entire : wings bluish, banner red-purple ; keel falcate, acuminate, 

 naked : pod 1 — l^g in. long, I4 in. broad, 7 — 9-seeded. — In open marshy 

 ground toward the sea, from near Point Bonita light-house northward. 

 Our most magnificent Lupine, but far from common ; well marked in 

 habit, and belonging exclusively to the seaboard. May. 



19. L. longipes. Stems more or less clustered, erect, stoutish, not at 

 all succulent, sparingly branched above, 2 — 4 ft. high, striate, glabrous 

 or loosely hairy : leaves mostly basal, on petioles 12 18 in. long ; stipules 

 setaceoiis-subulate ; leaflets 7 — 11, broadly lanceolate, acute, setaceously 

 mucronulate, 2 — 4 in. long, glabrous, the margin often more or less ciliate : 

 raceme peduncled, elongated, not dense : fl. much as in the last, but keel 

 slightly ciliate in the middle : pod 1 in. long or more, densely hirsute, 

 about 7-seeded : seed compressed, oval, brown with a dark diagonal 

 line. — Along streams at middle or higher elevations in the Sierra, north- 

 ward to Oregon. Very distinct ; and neither of the old names, L. macro- 

 phyllus or grandifoliut^, seems to belong to it. June — Aug. 



20. L. latifolius, Agardh, Syn. 18 (1835) ; Lindl. Bot. Reg. t. 1891 : 

 L. rirularis, var. lalifolius, Wats. ; L. adsurgens, Drew. Stoutish, erect, 

 branching, 2 — 4 ft. high, minutely appressed-pubescent, the stem not 

 striate, dark green and shining, equably leafly, the basal leaves not long- 

 stalked : stipules linear-setaceous ; leaflets 5—7, broadly oblanceolate, 

 thin, mucronulate, pilose-ciliate on the margins and the midvein beneath, 

 1-21.3 in. long: racemes slender-peduncled, loose, the verticils often 

 distinct ; pedicels slender : calyx-teeth elongated, the upper notched 

 slightly at the narrow apex : fl. blue, changing to a dark tawny hue ; 

 keel ciliolate below the middle : seed little compressed, the diagonal line 

 narrow. — By streamlets and on wooded northward slopes of the Coast 

 Range at low altitudes ; common in the hills near Berkeley. May — Aug. 



21. L. cytisoides, Agardh, 1. c. L. rivtdaris, Wats., not of Dougl. 



Taller than the last, more rigid, the stems striate : pubescence minute, 

 stiffish and closely appressed : stipules lanceolate-subulate ; leaflets 7 — 9, 

 oblanceolate, 2 in. long or more : raceme greatly elongated, but short- 

 peduncled, dense, the flowers not whorled : calyx as in the last : corolla 

 blue, the banner fading brownish ; keel strongly falcate, densely ciliate 

 for a short distance below the middle. — Mountains of Kern Co., perhaps 

 of Monterey, thence southward, where in Los Angeles Co. it is often six 

 feet high, and very showy. Very unlike the last in habit, pubescence, 

 inflorescence, etc. May -July. 



22. L. littoralis, Dougl. in Lindl. Bot Reg. t. 1198 (1828). Stems 

 clustered, decumbent or ascending, somewhat succulent, 1 — 2 ft. long,
