NEW PLANTS OF THE PACIFIC COAST. lil 
heads of pinkish flowers, and ultimately reflexed pedicels. 
The two often grow together, and T. longipes is later in 
its flowering. 
Astragalus salinus. Perennial; stems rather slender, de- 
cumbent or ascending, 4 to 8 inches long, branching: leaflets 
9 to 17, obovate to oblong, obtuse or retuse, 4 to 6 lines long: 
peduncles shorter than the leaves: calyx narrow, the short 
subulate teeth half as long as the tube: pod inflated, glabrous, 
thin-chartaceous, ovoid, with a short eurved beak. 
Saline soils of southeastern Oregon; in aspect much like 
A. diphysus, but its thin-walled pods readily distinguish it. 
Astragalus (Phaca) Hoodianus. Perennial; stems very 
erect, 4 to 6 inches high; herbage canescent with a short 
appressed pubescence: leaves 6 to 8 inches long, leaflets in 
10 to 14 pairs, linear, $ inch long or less: peduncles stout, 
exceeding the leaves and often nearly a foot long: flowers in 
along and rather loose raceme, white or yellowish, on pedi- 
cels a line long: bracts foliaceous, lanceolate, 2 lines long: 
ealyx cylindrical not half the length of the corolla, rather 
densely pubescent, the triangular acuminate teeth about as 
long as the slightly gibbous tube: mature pod thick-walled 
and hard, 6 or 8 lines long, oblong, acute, dorsally com- 
pressed, pubescent. 
Species apparently somewhat local in Wasco County, Ore- 
gon, where it grows on hills from Hood River to a point a 
few miles east of the Dalles, and also on the opposite side of 
the river. Its nearest ally seems to be A. conjunctus, which 
has purple corollas and glabrous pods. 
Astragalus Suksdorfii. Cinereously pubescent through- 
out: the stems many from a stout perennial root, slender, 
ascending, 8 to 12 inches long: stipules foliaceous, ovate- 
lanceolate, acute, about a line long: leaflets in 4 or 5 pairs, 
cuneate-oblong, obtuse or retuse, 8 or 4 lines long: peduncles 
very slender, shorter than the leaves; flowers in a compact 
cluster, white or yellowish, on slender pedicels; bracts lan- 
ceolate, about half as long as the pedicels; calyx campanu-
