LUPINUS MALACOPHYLLUS. Annual, èrect, a span high, with 
a few ascending branches from the base; soft throughout, 
with a long white villous pubescence : leaflets 5 to 7, obovate- 
lanceolate, obtuse, less than an inch long, the petioles 2 inches: 
racemes verticillate, at least below, 3 inches long or more, on 
peduncles nearly as long: calyx-lips very unequal ; the upper 
short, scarious, slightly notched; lower greatly elongated, 
green-herbaceous, distinctly 3-toothed : corolla 4 inch long, 
light blue and dark purple; keel moderately faleate, naked: 
pods sparsely villous, 2-seeded : seeds orbicular, white. 
Dry hills, near Verdi, Nevada, 2 May, 1888; collected by 
Mr. C. F. Sonne. An exceedingly pretty species, although

LUPINUS LIGULATUS. Perennial, the stems clustered, sim- 
ple, erect, stout and somewhat fistulous, 2 to 4 feet high, 
glabrous and a little glaucous; other parts of the plant, ex- 
cept the upper surface of the leaves, more or less hirsute- 
pubescent: stipules an inch long, adnate for something less 
than half their length, the elongated linear acuminate free 
parts strongly villous-hirsute ; petioles 3 to 5 inches long; 
leaflets about 9, oblanceolate, acute, an inch or two long: 
raceme short-peduncled, 6 to 10 inches long; the bracts 
villous-ciliate ; flowers rather distinctly verticillate, nearly 3
