hirsute: petioles twice as long as the 7 to 9 leaflets, these 

 somewhat fleshy; oblanceolate, acute, 1 inch long, the upper

strong cluster of thick woody-fibrous roots: stem retrorsely 

 pubescent, some of the hairs hispid, others short and ap- 

 pressed: leaves on long villous-hispid petioles, the lamina 

 cleft into about 5 segments which are broadly linear and 

 entire below, but above the middle widened and doubly cleft, 

 the ultimate divisions ovoid, acute: racemes about 3, slender- 

 peduncled, rather loose: flowers small, dark blue: sepals ob-

 spur nearly straight, horizontally projecting or slightly as- 

 cending; upper petals glabrous, the lateral ones horizontally 

 spreading over the stamens and very hirsute externally: 

 follicles pubescent, the hairs incurved and appressed.

 friend Mrs. Emily Gibbons Booth, of Berkeley, on the land 

 of whose country home the type specimens were collected,
