RYDBERG: Rocky MounrTAIN FLORA 563 
hirsute-strigose triangular stipules; leaves pinnate with 5 approxi- 
mate leaflets ; these 3-4 mm. long, lanceolate, strongly condupli- 
cate, grayish hirsute, spine-tipped; racemes 1~2-flowered, very 
short-peduncled in the axils of the leaves ; calyx-tube scarcely 2 
mm. long, grayish strigose ; teeth subulate, about 1 mm. long; 
corolla ochroleucous, about 4 mm. long. 
A species related to and confounded with WZ. tegetarius 
(Astragalus fegetarius S. Wats.), but the latter is a larger plant, has 
long-peduncled raceme exceeding the leaves, and longer calyx 
teeth, which about equal the tube in length.

“Homalobus Clementis sp. nov. 
Perennial, slightly branched, erect or ascending ; stem glab- 
tate or slightly strigose, about 2 dm. high; stipules broadly 
tnangular, strigose, abruptly acuminate, more or less united across 
the back ; leaves 5-7 cm. long, with 11-21 leaflets; these oblong 
or lanceolate, acute, 7-12 mm. long, glabrous above and spar- 
ingly strigose beneath ; inflorescence 7-10 cm. long, 8—12-flow- 
ered; bracts lanceolate, small; flowers very short-pediceled ; 
calyx-tube campanulate, about 3 mm. long, strigose with ries 
hairs, teeth lanceolate-subulate, about half as long; corolla bluish- 
Purple, about 8 mm. long; pod oblong, latterally compressed, 
Sessile, about 1 cm. long, 3-4 mm. wide, black-hairy with very 
Short hairs; both sutures prominent, the upper almost straight. 
This species is perhaps closest related to Homalobus winga- 
tensis (4, wingatensis) ; but that species is grayish canescent and 
‘Sa glabrous pod. HH. Clementis grows at an altitude of 2,500- 
3,000 m.,
