PLANTS HITHERTO UNDESCRIBED.—I. 
By J. Burrr Davy. 
Lupinus eximius. Frutescent, 2-3 ft. high, young 
branches, bracts, and growing parts hirsute with long soft 
white spreading hairs: stipules broad and semiamplexicaul, 
adnate for about half their length, those of the lower leaves 
for more, the free part subulate: leaflets 7-9, silky on both 
surfaces with longish pubescence, oblanceolate, obtuse, end- 
ing in a cusp, 8-10 lines long, 13—2} broad: inflorescence 
about 14 in. broad, barely 1 inch in length when the lowest 
flowers open, but elongating to about 5 in.; bracts caducous 
4-5 lines long, incurved and considerably exceeding the 
buds; pedicels stout, 3 lines long, pubescent; flowers light 
purplish-blue and white, wings and banner broad. 
Plentiful on the highest ridge above Lake Pilarcitos, San 
Mateo Co., Calif., near the summit of the eastern slope, 20 
April, 1895; my No. 1050. Type specimens preserved in the 
herbaria of the University of California and of Prof. Greene. 
A very handsome, free-flowering bush, noticeable for its 
large and delightfully scented flowers, the odor much as in 
L. propinquus and more delicate than in L. arboreus, in 
fact at once recalling the fragrance of a field of Trifolium 
repens in full bloom. The shortness of the inflorescence 
when the first flowers open is a marked feature, 
Senecio Breweri. Perennial?, herbaceous, erect, about 
2 ft. high with glabrous, sulcate stems: leaves apparently 
entirely glabrous; radical leaves tufted, rather long-petioled, 
lyrately pinnate with cuneate-obovate or subreniform, 
coarsely toothed leaflets, or deeply pinnatifid; upper cauline 
smaller, sessile and semiamplexicaul, laciniately 1-2—pin- 
natifid, the lobes toothed: inflorescence corymbose, pedun- 
cles and pedicels long; heads erect, 5-6 lines high, about 4 
lines broad; bracteoles few and very short; involucral bracts 
4-7 or even 1 line broad, 10-15 in number, apparently thin 
and lightly 2-ribbed, their broadly scarious margins over- 
lapping in flower; rays few, broad, light yellow.
