NOVITATES OCCIDENTALES.—II. 
By Epwarp L. GREENE. 
IsopyruM OCCIDENTALE, H. & A., var. coloratum. Rather 
smaller than the type, and the roots more fleshy (slender 
fusiform): flowers smaller, rose-red: follicles oblong-linear, 
4 inch long, somewhat narrower above, less obliquely acute 
than in the type. 
Collected on Fremont’s Peak of the Santa Cruz Mountains, 
California, by Mr. L. W. Cushman, March and April, 1893. 
An unexpected station for an Isopyrwm and perhaps specifi- 
eally distinct from I occidentale. The red color of the flowers 
is certainly very remarkable. 
Ranuncutus Catrornicus, Benth. var. erassifolius. Stout 
and low, the flowering branches only assurgent: herbage 
somewhat succulent, sparingly villous, and equally so through- 
out; leaves broader than long, 3-lobed to the middle, the lobes 
rounded and coarsely toothed, the cauline mostly deeply 
parted into 3 oval or oblong quite entire segments: flowers 
and achenes decidedly larger than in the type of the species. 
Collected at Fort Bragg, Mendocino Co., Calif., by Mr. 
Michener. 
Lupinus eminens. Shrubby, 3 to 6 feet high, with ascend- 
ing stoutish and very leafy branches ending in a rather short 
and short-peduncled raceme: growing branches and both faces 
of the leaves somewhat silvery-canescent with a minute 
appressed pubescence: leaflets 7 to 9, lanceolate-oblong, acut- 
ish, very unequal in size, the longest 1{ inches, the smallest 
linch long, on petioles of an inch or more: flowers scarcely 
whorled in the raceme: calyx lobes subequal, the upper very 
broad, scarcely notched, the lower narrow, entire: corolla 
about 4 inch long, the banner shorter than the other petals, 
changing from whitish to tawny; keel naked: pods 14 inches 
long, villous, almost erect in maturity, about 4-seeded. 
Santa Inez Mountains, Santa Barbara Co., California, G. 
Eryrura. Vol. I, No. 6, [1 June, 1893].
