oblong, very pubescent, about one-half as long as the calyx- 
lobes. 
Dry fields, Ontario and Vermont to Florida, west to Minne- 
sota, Nebraska, and Louisiana. 
The type specimens are in Michaux’s herbarium at Paris, but 
the sheet on which they are mounted has a number of specimens 
of L. angustifolia glued down on it as well. Hedysarum frutes- 
-cens, Willd., is authenticated as this species by Torrey and 
Gray. In my Catalogue of the Plants of New Jersey I used the 
name L. frufescens, but it is not available, Willdenow’s /rulescens 
not being the same as the original frufescens of Linneus.

Leaflets linear-lanceolate or linear-oblong, sometimes 4’ long. 
Illinois and Missouri. 
The specimen in the Candollean herbarium is from ‘‘Louis- 
iana, ex herb. Bonjean.’’ The other specimens which I have 
seen are from Illinois (Short), Beardstown, Ill. (Geyer), Mis- 
souri (Eggert). The var. sericea, Hook, and Arn. Comp. Bot. 
Mag. i. 23, maintained by Torrey and Gray, Maximowicz 
and Watson, appears to me only as a very silvery pubescent 
state of the species, which is almost always silvery to some 
extent.
