Horkelia glandulosa sp. no v. 



Stems several from the woody rootstock, 6 dm. high, stout and 

 rather coarse, finely viscid-glandular throughout and softly villous 

 with silky hairs, some of the radical leaves 4 dm. long, with 1 1 leaf- 

 lets ; petioles stout, furrowed on the inner side, broadly sheathing 

 at base; leaflets oblong to orbicular in outline, cuneate at base, 

 laciniately lobed, the lobes laciniately dentate, the uppermost 

 leaflet largest, some 4 cm. long and wide ; petiolules short ; cauline 

 leaves smaller, with stipules like the leaflets but somewhat smaller: 

 flowers in terminal cymes, a few smaller clusters also often in the 

 upper axils, the central flower on a pedicel longer than the calyx, 

 the others subsessile : calyx almost concealed by the bractlets, 

 urceolate, rounded at base, the tube 5 mm. long, the divisions 3 

 mm. wide at base, 5 mm. long, tapering to a slender point, gland- 

 ular and hairy on the outside, glabrous on the inner; appendages 

 declined, the Same shape and length as the calyx-segments but 

 narrower, glandular and hairy on both sides : petals white, oblong, 

 without claws, 6 mm. long, 4 mm. wide : filaments broad, as long 

 as the anthers, inserted in two sets, one below the other on the 

 calyx-tube : styles 5 mm. long, brownish at base, inserted near the 

 tops of the subreniform ovaries : akenes brown, polished, shaped 

 somewhat like an oyster-shell, obliquely concave on one side. 



Type collected by the author at I.aytonville, Mendocino 



County, California, August 2, 1903. This is the largest species 



of the genus so far described; the whole plant has a pleasant 



fragrance and it seems most closely related to H, calif arnica C. & S.

Astragalus Titi sp. nov. 



Annual, branching from the base and above, slender, 1-1.5 

 dm. high, sHghtly pubescent : leaves 3-6 cm. long, with 5-9 rather

 stipules falcate-attenuate, membranous with green midvein, those 

 on the lower leaves sparingly clothed with white hairs, those on 

 the upper leaves with black hairs ; leaflets narrowly oblong to 

 cuneate, truncate or emarginate at apex, the base narrowing to a

 scattered hairs appressed diversely, 4-8 mm. long, 2-4 mm. wide : 

 capitate clusters containing about 6 flowers from almost the lowest 

 axils, on slender peduncles 2-^ cm. long, the pedicels i mm, long, 

 black-hairy: calyx with similar pubescence, the campanulate tube 

 tinged with purple, 1.5 mm. long, obtuse at base with linear-subu-
