Benth. Copied from the original 
plate. 
asi viridi-punctatum; alae et carina acu- 
minatae, roseae. . . . Semina olivacea, 
laevia, nigro maculata. 
Lindley thus records his obser- 
vation as to the differences be- 
tween the specimens collected by 
Douglas in California and those 
grown in England from seed also 
collected by Douglas. While the 
plate may not be altogether satis- 
factory, it at least shows that the 
flowers were spreading in anthesis, 
and substantiates my conception 
of the species sensu lato. 
About the same time Agardh 
saw the specimens in Lindley’s’ 
herbarium and decided that there 
were at least two species. In his 
monographic “ Synopsis Generis 
Lupini,”’ also bearing the date of 
1835, he described his L. Menziesii 
and made his own disposition of 
Bentham’s species, without mak- 
ing mention of the specimens grown 
from seed. His two descriptions, 
in part, follow: 
2. L. Menziesii nob. floribus in spica lon- 
gissima verticillatis pedicellatis, pedicellis 
bracteas setaceas persistens subaeque ntibus, 
calycis ebracteolati labiis integris, superiore 
scarioso, inferiore herbaceo duplo longiore.
