1909. No. 8 VASCULAR PLANTS COLLECTED IN ARCTIC NORTH AMERICA. 53 
calycis labium inferius anguste lanceolatum, 8—10 mm. longum, integrum; 
caulis præcipue superne, petiola, bracteæ, pedunculi, calyx pilis albis longis 
villosis; legumen juvene cum 8—g ovis, sparsissime pilosum. 
King Point. In full flower in June (21th—24th, 1906). 
Herschell Isl. In flower on July r7th, 1906. 
The Expedition has brought home a very large material of this 
beautiful blue lupin. It is just the same plant which. Fr. KJELLMAN 
collected at Port Clarence on the Vega Expedition and which he (I. c.) 
referred to L. nootkatensis J. Donn (Catal. hort. Cantab. 1812, p. 205), 
adding some remarks on the differences from the type. It seems to me 
that these differences are so great that the form merits at least a varietal 
name. The form of the leaflets, the form and hairiness of the calyx, etc., 
show that it cannot be the true L. nootkatensis Donn. 
PULLEN's list (in SEEMAN, Fl. W. Eskimaux Land, Voy. Herald, 1852) 
has »>L. perennis DC.< from the Arctic Coast; this is probably the plant 
here described. 
To L. arcticus Watson (Proc. Amer. Acad. Arts & Sc., VIII, 1873, 
p. 526) our form has no relation.

Phaca astragalina, PULLEN's list, Point Barrow to Pelly Isl. 
King Point. A small form like the plant from King William 
Land in full flower on June 29th 1906, a larger form in flower on July 
18th, 1906. 
65. Astragalus eucosmus B. L. RoBixsox, Rhodora, vol. 10, 1909, 
p. 33; A. elegans (Hoox.) BRITTon in BRITTON & Brown, Illust. Flora, II,

Fl. Bor. Am., I, 1830, p. 144; Atelophragma elegans RYDBERG, Bull. Torr. 
Bot. Club. 1905, p. 660. 
King Point. In buds on June 2gth, 1906. 
Herschell Isl. In flower on July ızth, 1906. 
The specimens have somewhat broader leaflets than specimens from 
the Selkirk Mts. and Fort Fairfield (Maine) in the Copenhagen herbarium, 
but agree otherwise well with the species.
