Aragallus angustatus sp. nov. 
Acaulescent perennial; leaves spreading or ascending, 6-10 
cm. long; leaflets 7-13, narrowly linear-lanceolate to narrowly 
linear, 1-2 cm. long, 2-4 mm. wide, sparingly strigose; scape 
about 1 dm. high, sparingly strigose; raceme 3-5 cm. long; 
bracts lanceolate, about 5 mm. long ; calyx finely silky-strigose ; 
tube 5-6 mm. long; teeth subulate, about 2 mm. long ; corolla 
purple, 15 mm. long or less; banner rather broad ; wings broad 
and slightly emarginate; keel with a very dark blue-purple spot 
and a very short porrect tip; legume ovoid, less than 1.5 cm. 
long, coriaceous, 3.5 mm. thick, rather abruptly contracted into a 
spreading beak, minutely strigose, half 2-celled. 
This resembles, somewhat, a low, narrow-leaved A, Lambertii, 
but differs in the more spreading leaves, and smaller, more 
spreading flowers, and especially by the short pod, with an abrupt 
spreading beak. The specimen designated as the type has the best 
developed fruit.

ARaAGALLUS BLANK iNsuIPit A, Nelson 
Fron, |W: Blankinship * writes : 
“ Oxytropis Besseyi (Rydberg) ; Aragallus Besseyi Rydberg, 
Flora 250 is A, Blankinshipii Nelson, Erythea, 7: 58. The 
types of both were collected within a few miles of each other. 
The fruiting specimens of Nelson were pathogenic, infected with 
uredo, causing the ovary to remain undeveloped and an abnormal 
calyx, the legume in the species usually exceeding the calyx ; 
otherwise they are identical.” 
This statement is only partly correct. Professor Blankinship 
some time ago sent us specimens of Aragallus Blankinshipi from ~
