198 Eastwood: New species of western plants 



lower, 2-cleft with a gusset-like sinus ; lower lip with 3 triangular 

 acuminate teeth, 2.5 mm. long; all divisions membranously mar- 

 gined ; calyx 6 mm. long, silky-pubescent : corolla violet and 

 white, the banner orbicular, undulate, i cm. wide with a broad 

 claw 7 mm.; wings surpassing the keel, oblong; keel strongly

Collected at Lakeside Park, near Lake Tahoe, California, July 



I, 1903, by Miss Lutie Goldstein, in whose honor it is named. 



This species, which might easily be mistaken for a Vicia^ is 



distinct from related species in its small flowers, racemes much 



shorter than the leaves, conspicuous tendrils, and narrow entire 



stipules. 



Thermopsis venosa sp. nov. 



Stems branching, 4-5 dm. high, glabrous, striate : leaflets 

 obovate-rhomboid to oblong, conspicuously reticulate, glabrous, 

 5-9 cm. long, 4 cm. wide, cuneate at base; petioles 2-5 cm. 

 long ; lowest stipules suborbicular to broadly ovate, 5 cm. long, 

 3-4 cm, wide; uppermost lanceolate, 2-2.5 ^^- long: racemes 

 on long peduncles, 9-12 cm., sometimes with a single bract about 

 the middle ; pedicels equaling or surpassing the calyx, erect ; 

 bracts lanceolate, equaling or shorter than the pedicels ; calyx 

 thin, slightly pubescent, the broad upper part with a shallow tri- 

 angular notch, lower with 3 triangular teeth : corolla with banner 

 1.5 cm. long, 12 mm. wide, deeply obcordate, wings sborter, keel 

 truncate at apex, 16 mm. long : legume spreading horizontally, 

 glabrous, flat, generally straight, 5-7 cm. long, 5-7 mm. broad, 

 with a short, stout stipe and acute or pointed apex, the seeds dis- 

 tinctly outlined through the pod. 



Collected by the author on the Lewiston Trail near the sum- 

 mit which divides Trinity from Shasta County, California, July 3, 

 I90[. It is distinguished by the large glabrous leaves, broad 



stipules, flat glabrous legumes and calyx different from any other 



species. It is most closely allied to 7! gracilis Howell, but differs 

 in the absence of pubescence and in the shape and size of all the 

 organs, 



Rosa rivalis sp. nov. 



Shrub, I m. or more high, glabrous, with very few spines or 

 prickles, these slender, straight, short from a broad base, 2-3 to- 

 gether, 1-4 mm. long ; older wood dark wine-colored ; leaflets 5-7^ 

 the uppermost largest, oblong to elliptical and suborbicular, or
