AsTRAGALUS MOoENCOPPENSIS. Densely tufted from a much 
branched woody root; one foot high, branched, glabrous or slightly 
pubescent with scattered hairs, young leaves more pubescent; stip-. 
ules scarious, small, broadly triangular, not free, generally with a tuft 
of white hairs at the tip; leaves 4 to 8 inches long, petiole half the 
length, generally grooved; leaflets about 5 pairs, linear or narrow- 
er, one inch or less long, acute, somewhat narrowed at the base; 
peduncles 8 to 12 inches long, racemose-spicate on the upper half, 
flowers spreading; bracts a line long, ovate or lanceolate, acumi- 
nate, hairy; pedicels half a line long; calyx very hairy with entan- 
gled white hairs, campanulate, about 2 lines long, equaling or slight- 
ly exceeding the subulate lobes ; flowers purple, surpassing the calyx 
lobes by 1 to 2 lines; pods erect or even reflexed, barely equaling 
the calyx lobes, 3 lines long by 114 wide, one-celled, obcompressed 
to such an extent that the cross-section is nearly linear, hoary, ob- 
long-oval, acute, sessile, both sutures prominent, the ventral more 
so, scarcely sulcate ventrally, not at all dorsally. 
Collected June 11, 1890, on limestone cliffs, at Willow Springs, 
near the Moencoppa, in northern Arizona. 
ASTRAGALUS SOPHOROIDES. Perennial but flowering the first 
year, silvery silky all over even to the stipules, but the calyx with 
rather coarse pubescence, the hairs on the calyx inclined to be en- 
tangled and those on the pods shorter and entangled; plants 3 to 12 
inches high, many stemmed, erect or ascending; stipules free trom 
the petiole and connate, even to the top of the stem, scarious, large,
