2. Amorpha occidentalis sp. nov. 
Shrubby below, 2-3 meters high; flowering branchlets minutely 
pubescent; leaf-rachis sparsely pubescent, without pickle-like 
glands, bearing 8—10 pairs of leaflets; leaflets ovate to narrowly 
oblong, sparsely pubescent with short-appressed hairs, firm in 
texture, 2-4 cm. long; raceme 10-18 cm. long; pedicels 1.5 mm. 
long; calyx-tube nearly glabrous, scarcely 2 mm. long; calyx-teeth 
very short, triangular, densely short-villous; petal about 5 mm. 
long; mature fruit not seen. 
This species has been understood as A. californica Nutt., but 
Nuttall’s specimens in the Torrey Herbarium, although too young 
to determine accurately the character of the calyx-teeth, have 
prickle-like glands. Plants from Santa Barbara, the type locality, 
agreeing with Nuttall’s as to prickle-like glands, have lanceolate 
calyx-teeth nearly equaling the tube. I have not seen the type 
of A. hispidula Greene, but the central California plants are less 
pubescent, and have relatively shorter calyx-teeth. 
Type: San Diego River, near the Old San Diego Mission, 
Abrams 3425, May 6, 1903. ‘Type specimen deposited in the 
Stanford University Herbarium. 
Distribution: Foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains south- 
ward to San Diego, and probably adjacent Lower California. 
Upper and Lower Sonoran.

5. PAROSELA. Datea. 
Leaves pinnate. 
Calyx hoary-tomentose, its lobes slender, equaling or exceeding the tube. 
Calyx 4-5 mm. long; spikes short, head-like. 1. P. Emoryi. 
Calyx 8-10 mm. long; spikes loose, 3-4 cm. long. 2. P. arborescens. 
Calyx appressed silky-pubescent to nearly glabrous, its lobes broad, 
usually shorter than the tube.
