As O. siibtdata it has been reported from all the islands 

 except Santa Rosa. There are specimens from Guadalupe 

 Island in the Herbarium of the Academy collected by Dr. 

 F. Franceschi. On San Nicolas it was frequent, found on 

 dry cliffs overhanging arroyas. 



LEGUMINOS.^. 



31. Lupinus micranthus Dougl., Bot. Reg.,T. 1251. 

 This has been reported only from Santa Rosa and Santa 



Catalina. On San Nicolas, it grew on the borders of the 

 small lake, 1000 ft. above the sea. The flowers are bluish 

 white with black dots. This is similar to L. micranthus as 

 defined by Watson, Greene, and others. Professor Greene 

 has raised a doubt as to whether this common Californian 

 plant is the true Z. micranthus. Agardh's description, in 

 Synopsis Gen. Lupini, page 14, drawn from Douglas' spec- 

 imen in Herb. Lindl., differs first in respect to the leaves, 

 which are said to be glabrous above, spreading pilose below, 

 while this has leaves pilose on both surfaces; secondl}^ in 

 the seeds, which in Lindley's specimen were one colored, 

 while these are mottled with brown. In Hook. Fl. Bor., 

 Vol I, p. 162, the following quotation from Douglas occurs: 

 " It has much affinity with L. bicolor, differing in flowering 

 from 4-6 weeks earlier, in being more slender, in the short- 

 ness of its alae, its nearly sessile flowers, fleshy leaves, 

 granulated roots, larger pods, and the color and size of the 

 seeds." The leaves of the commonly accepted jL. micran- 

 thus can scarcely be called fleshy.
