tibus,’”’ applying to the Whidby Island and Fossil Island* 
elements only, and not to the Vancouver Island plants which 
I supposed were merely in bud. The form of the Puget Sound 
islands will be studied in the field, as soon as possible, and then 
disposition made of it according to my findings. 
Lupinus Havarpii Wats., Proc. Am. Acad. 17: 369. 1882. 
The idea of a perennial lupine of the Sericei along the upper 
Rio Grande in Texas has frequently started some mental specu- 
lations,-and often have I entertained the desire to visit that 
region and investigate the matter. The specimens in the 
L. Havardti cover at the National Herbarium offered no help to 
a conclusion and I did not think to investigate the case when 
looking up the annuals at the Gray Herbarium. Recently 
access has been had to scraps of this, filed at the University of 
California, labelled as coming from the type at Harvard, and 
annotated, ‘‘L. Havardii—leonensis ?, annual.’”’ The questioned 
identification thus indicated is fully justified by the material 
concerned, a leaf, a flower, and dissected floral parts. Thus 
L. subcarnosus Hook. seems toclaimafifthsynonym.{ L. bimac- 
ulatus Hook. was described as a perennial, as well as L. Havardi1; 
but why Watson should compare the latter with L. sericeus 
and L. Sitgreavesii I am not prepared to explain at this time. I 
see nothing in Watson’s description to oppose the conclusion 
that L. Havardii is the same as L. texensis and L. leonensts, 
which are phases of L. subcarnosus, having narrower petals and 
leaflets. 
LupINUS UNCIALIS Wats., Bot. King’s Rep. 54. 1871. 
It would doubtless seem odd if I closed a series of papers 
upon the annual lupines of North America without referring to 
this species, the sole representative of Watson’s subgenus 
‘Lupinellus. Watson’s illustrations (Plate VII) are excellent 
and his description good enough; and I have examined the type 
specimens at the Gray Herbarium 
The character of “flowers aha. solitary’’ is, indeed, a 
remarkable variation for the genus Lupinus; but I have already 
reported that in L. concinnus the very common axillary branches
