SMITH: STUDIES IN THE GENUS LUPINUS 19 
Probably related to this, but certainly not typical, are the 
following: Atascadero, San Luis Obispo County, 30 Apr., 1861, 
W. H. Brewer 493 (US); Ojai and vicinity, Ventura County, 24 
May, 1866, Peckham (US). Additional material from these lo- 
calities would be welcome and worthy of careful study. 
The type collection has been recorded as L. microcarpus by 
Heller (Muhlenbergia 2: 294. 1907). 
Phoeniceus is Latin for ‘‘ purple-red.”’ 
4h. Lupinus subvexus albilanatus var. nov. [Fic. 14.] 
A var. phoeniceo differt foltis gracillimis acutis plurimum solum 
10-20 mm. longis; foliis petiolis pedunculisque conspicue brevi- 
lanato-villosis; vexillo 12-14 mm. longo, graciliore; seminibus 
plurimum minoribus pallidioribus, immaculatis vel maculatis.

This variety is conspicuous for its whitish cast and the narrow- 
ness of its banner. The seeds are variable in size and color, as 
_ shown by Mrs. Brandegee’s collections. Those with sheet 149884 
are about 5 x 4 mm., some milky- or bluish-white unmarked with 
the hilum area flesh-color, while others are drab with an occa- 
sional dark speck and a conspicuous bluish-white or pale area 
about the scar. Those with sheet 149885 are 4x3 mm. with a 
drab ground much speckled with black, the hilum area little or 
conspicuously paler and unspotted. Those with sheet 125917
