196 Eastwood: New species of w^estern plants 



mm. in diameter, shallowly emarginate and slightly .arose along 

 the apex, the claw 2 mm. long, wedge-shaped, 1.5 mm. wide at 

 top, the base abruptly acute ; wings surpassing the keel 2 mm., 

 almost 2 mm. wide at top, the slender claw 2 mm. long with a 

 horizontal, toothlike appendage at top ; keel 3 mm. long, rounded 

 at top : alternate filaments shorter^ anthers orbicular : style 2 mm. 

 long, thickest at base, tipped by a yellow globular stigma : pods 

 erect, completely 2-celIed by the intrusion of the dorsal suture, 

 abruptly pointed and tipped with the curved style, becoming 7 mm. 



long, appressed white-pubescent, 6-seeded, the cross-section 3 mm. 

 wide, broadly cordate. 



Collected by Dr. F. H. Titus, in whose honor it is named, on 



the Seventeen Mile Drive at Monterey, California, about four miles 



from Pacific Grove, near an old hut composed of Abalone shells 



and coal-oil cans. The type specimens were collected by Mrs. 



Joseph Clemens, May 8, 1904. It is related to A, Brczveri Gray, 



differing most noticeably in the fruit. While A, Brczveri has an 



ovate pod, attenuate to the long style, this pod is narrow^ly oblong, 



as broad near the top as the bottom, and the style is much shorter. 



Its flowers are smaller and the calyx less densely black-villous. 



Vicia Durbrowi sp. nov. 



Climbing a meter or more, slender, angled, villous throughout 

 with fine, silky, spreading hairs : leaves almost sessile, with 

 branched tendrils; leaflets 8-1 1, alternate, thin, conspicuously 

 veiny, equally villous on both surfaces and but Httlc paler on the 

 lower, oblong, 1.5-2.5 cm. long, 1-I.5 cm. wide, sharply dentate 

 from the apex to about the middle, sometimes almost entire, trun- 

 cate and shortly aristate, obtuse and subsessile at base; stipules 

 sessile, broad, pedately lobed with triangular teeth : racemes 

 shorter than the leaves, on slender curving peduncles which are 

 generally as long as the flowering part: flowers 3-6, pedicels 

 shorter than the calyx : upper lip of calyx purplish with 2 sharply 

 pointed teeth i mm. long, separated by a broad rounded sinus ; 

 lower with 3 long, acuminate teeth almost 4 times as long as the 

 upper, finely villous, tube rounded at base : corolla violet, the 

 banner with blade slightly broader than claw, 16 mm. long, about 



half as wide, truncate and 



mu 



strongly 



win 



towards the rounding top, sharply auriculate at base ; keel short, 

 its purple-tipped apex obtuse, 5 mm. long, the claw 7 mm. : -style 

 glabrous ; stigma tufted at tip with white hairs ; ovary pubescent
