160 PITTONIA. 
that I am now convinced was wrong. The species is inter 
mediate between L. albicaulis and L. fuleratus, but bas the 
usual scarious stipules. 
Lupinus MAGNUS. L. polyphyllus, Greene, Fl. Fr. 40, and 
Man. 105, as to the description, and plant of the middle Cali- 
fornian seaboard, not of Lindley. It is not necessary to re- 
produce here the full description given by me in the places 
cited. Specimens from Douglas' original station, as well as 
Mr. Howell's manuseript notes on the plant of far northern 
localities, convince me that this is wholly distinct from the 
true L. polyphyllus. 
Lupinus GRATUs. Stems numerous, closely tufted on a 
ligneous base wholly above ground, erect, 2 feet high, leafy 
up to the solitary rather short and dense scarcely peduncled 
raceme; the whole herbage cinereously puberulent, and des- 
titute of other hairiness: lowest leaves on petioles 6 to 10 
inches long, the stalks of the upper only about 2 inches long: 
leaflets 7 or 9, oblanceolate, abruptly acutish ; stipules of all 
the leaves subulate-filiform : flowers small, verticillate, but 
the whorls closely approximate: calyx saccate: corolla less 
than 4 inch long; petals about equal; keel rather short, not 
even the apex exserted, woolly-ciliate from base to above the 
middle. 
. Pine woods of Lassen Co., Calif., on the northward slope 
of the Dixey Mountains, July,1894, Messrs. Baker & Nutting. 
The species is one of excellent characters, and the flowers are 
said to be exceedingly fragrant. 
SOLIDAGO RACEMOSA. Stems usually clustered, always 
erect and slender, 1 to 2 feet high, leafy, but the leaves di- 
minishing towards the inflorescence, the herbage glabrous, 
not even the involucres at all glutinous or viscid: leaves all 
oblanceolate, mostly narrowly so, the larger indistinetly ser- 
rate, of firm texture: heads rather large, ordinarily in a loose 
raceme 4 to 6 inches long, the pedicels 3 to ? inch long and —
