LEGUMINOS^. 



ViciA PULCHELLA, IT. B. K. Nov. Gen. 8f Sp. 6. p. 499. t. 583 ? var. foliolis majori- 

 bus obtusis cuspidato-mucronatis ; stipulis plerisque integerrimis. — Pine hills be- 

 tween the copper mines and the Mimbres, New Mexico ; Oct., Avith mature fruit. 

 (943.) (San Antonio de las Alanzanes, Mexico, Gregg ; in flower and fruit.) — 

 Dr. Gregg's specimen accords with Kunth's figure, except that most of the leaflets 

 are obtuse. Ours, which are autumnal specimens, with ripe fruit, have rather 

 larger and more rigid leaflets, and linear and entire stipules. The numerous pods 

 are an inch in length, nearly 3 lines wide, somewhat falcate, acute, 6 - 10-seeded. 



V. EXiGUA, Nutt. in Torr. Sf Gray, Fl. 1. p. 272. Ravines near El Paso ; also on 

 the banks of Lake Santa Maria, Chihuahua; April. (1350.) — The earlier pedun-

 bus, nunc semisagitatis, nunc subulatis integris. — Stony hills near the copper 

 mines, and along Coppermine Creek ; Aug. (946.) — I cannot distinguish this 

 from American forms of L. palustris ; and in some specimens the stipules are of 

 the same shape as in that species. The flowers were purple, but have mostly lost 

 their color in drying, as in Fendler s No. 116.
