3. Lupinus Brittoni sp. nov. 
Bushy and shrubby below, with long herbaceous branches, 
about 1 m. high; herbage appearing glaucescent with a minute 
appressed pubescence; petioles slender, exceeding the leaflets; 
leaflets 6-8, oblanceolate, 25-45 mm. long, acutish at apex, with 
a prominent recurved point; racemes 15-30 cm. long; many- 
flowered; flowers scattered or in approximate whorls; pedicels 
5 mm. long; lower calyx-lobe entire, 7 mm. long; corolla (in dried 
specimens) 15 mm. long, violet-purple; keel ciliate toward the 
middle on the upper edges; pod 3 cm. long; seeds 5-6, scarcely 
4 mm. long, nearly as wide, light tan, specked with dark tan. 
Type collected by the writer (3904) in Cottonwood Valley, 
San Diego County, June 5, 1903, and deposited in the Herbarium 
of Stanford University. 
The glaucescent instead of silvery herbage, the shorter and 
closely appressed pubescence of the pedicels and calyx, and the 
minute pale seeds, separate this species readily from true L. albi- 
frons of central California. The characters given in the key con- 
trast it with the other southern California members of this group.
