A FASCICLE OF NEW PAPILIONACEJXE. 133 
Lupinus rxGRATUS. Related to L. decumbens, less branch- 
ing, with few and subsessile racemes of very small and 
crowded flowers; all parts glabrous except a finesilky indu- 
ment on the calyx and pedicels and the youngest growing 
parts: leaves short-petioled and crowded; leaflets 9, oblong 
but cuneately tapering to the base, obtuse, cuspidate- 
mucronate : flowers evidently verticillate on close inspection, 
but crowded into a dense uninterrupted narrow spike, the 
corolla only 3 lines long, white or sordid, with no tinge of 
blue or purple; petals subequal, but the faleate naked keel 
with its pointed tip exserted: pods small, quadrate-oblong, 
silky-villous, 4-seeded. 
Frequent in low grassy lands at Chama, New Mexico, 2 
Sept., 1899, Mr. Baker. A homely species, but with a fair 
exhibit of specific characters. 
Lupinus Nxo-Mexicanus. Perennial, the tufted and sub- 
erect stoutish stems 2 feet high or less, these and the petioles 
pilose, or sparsely hirsute: leaflets about 7, oblong-lanceo- 
late, acute, 1 to 14 inches long, apt to be conduplicate, the 
upper face thus concealed in the dry specimens, but appar- 
ently glabrous, the margins and lower face rather strongly 
Somewhat strigose with long but not very rigid straight 
hairs: well-developed solitary raceme short-peduncled, 
rather lax, the flowers seldom obviously verticillate; rachis, 
pedicels and calyx densely villous-hirsutulous but the indu- 
ment short: corollas nearly 4 inch long, purple, the banner 
relatively small, little more than half as long as the wings, 
keel not longer than the wings, of exactly broad-lunate out- 
line, naked. 
About Silver City, and in foothills of the Pinos Altos 
Mountains, southern New Mexico, collected by the writer 
in 1877 and again in 1880; no other specimens now at 
hand. It was at that time called L. Sitgreavesit by Mr. Wat- 
son, but is less related to the type of that species than that 
is to several older ones that might be named.
