SMITH: STUDIES IN THE GENUS LuPINUS—X 97 
moist soils, showing only vegetative characters uncertain and 
non-dependable. Greene surely had an odd hallucination when 
he saw his L. polycarpus as ‘more related to the coarse, fleshy, 
large-flowered L. affinis”’ [L. succulentus] than to ‘the very dif- 
ferent L. micranthus.”’ Though quite variable in its vegetative 
parts, the flowers are remarkably constant in type,.so that vari- 
etal classification must be based upon leaflets and pubescence, 
characters found by me to be largely unsatisfactory for such 
purposes, though at times offering real temptation. 
Quite a few specimens examined are not cited below, especi-. . 
ally some from Santa Clara County.
