  Grindelia 
  latifolia, 
  Kellogg. 
  

  

  Stem 
  stout, 
  perennial 
  branching, 
  glabrous 
  ; 
  radicle 
  leaves 
  spatulate, 
  very 
  large, 
  

   6 
  to 
  10 
  inches 
  in 
  length, 
  blade 
  2}^ 
  to 
  3}^ 
  inches 
  in 
  breadth, 
  decurrent 
  into 
  a 
  very 
  

   narrow 
  [^^ 
  to 
  i^ 
  of 
  an 
  inch) 
  petiole, 
  blade 
  and 
  petiole 
  about 
  equal, 
  the 
  latter 
  suc- 
  

   cessively 
  shortening 
  as 
  the 
  leaves 
  ascend 
  the 
  stem, 
  subcrenate 
  serrate, 
  obtuse 
  on 
  tips 
  

   teeth 
  with 
  a 
  callous 
  mucro, 
  margins 
  scabrous, 
  veins 
  all 
  decurrent 
  nerved 
  along 
  the 
  

   broadening 
  midrib 
  into 
  the 
  many-nerved 
  winged 
  petiole 
  ; 
  cauline 
  leaves 
  oblong, 
  

   often 
  somewhat 
  oblique, 
  broader 
  and 
  cordate 
  at 
  the 
  base, 
  clasping 
  often 
  beyond 
  the 
  

   stem, 
  many-nerved, 
  and 
  strongly 
  decurrent-nerved 
  along 
  the 
  stout 
  midrib, 
  obtuse, 
  

   margins 
  crenate, 
  with 
  mostly 
  truncate 
  teeth; 
  3 
  to 
  6 
  inches 
  in 
  length 
  and 
  3 
  

   broad, 
  becoming 
  ovoid-cordate, 
  or 
  cordate, 
  serrate, 
  above 
  ; 
  leaves 
  of 
  the 
  branches 
  

   also 
  broad 
  and 
  obtuse, 
  but 
  successively 
  diminished, 
  serrate, 
  clasping 
  and 
  more 
  

   densely 
  set, 
  to 
  the 
  imbricated 
  and 
  clustered 
  tips 
  ; 
  heads 
  large, 
  sessile 
  or 
  sub-sessile 
  ; 
  

   glandular 
  and 
  glutinous, 
  involucre 
  hid 
  by 
  a 
  few 
  broad, 
  subacute, 
  subtending, 
  

   bractoid 
  leaves 
  ; 
  scales 
  broadly 
  linear 
  acute, 
  subulate 
  pointed, 
  but 
  scarcely 
  ap- 
  

   pendaged. 
  Five-awned 
  ; 
  often 
  inserted 
  below 
  the 
  crown. 
  

  

  The 
  Academy 
  is 
  indebted 
  to 
  the 
  U. 
  S. 
  Coast 
  Survey 
  for 
  this 
  new 
  acquisi- 
  

   tion. 
  Found 
  by 
  Mr. 
  W. 
  G. 
  W. 
  Harford, 
  on 
  the 
  island 
  of 
  Santa 
  Rosa. 
  The 
  

   plant 
  is 
  not 
  liable 
  to 
  be 
  mistaken 
  for 
  inuloides, 
  as 
  that 
  is 
  pubescent 
  or 
  hirsute- 
  

   pubescent, 
  and 
  1-3-awned, 
  etc. 
  G. 
  robu^ta 
  is 
  more 
  nearly 
  allied 
  ; 
  that 
  has 
  2 
  

   (or 
  more?) 
  bristles 
  — 
  this, 
  distinctly 
  5 
  — 
  broadly 
  leafy 
  below 
  the 
  base, 
  the 
  sub- 
  

   ulate 
  appendages 
  obsolete 
  — 
  in 
  both 
  of 
  those, 
  conspicuously 
  characteristic. 
  

  

  Lupinus 
  selluhis, 
  Kellogg. 
  . 
  

  

  Stem 
  suffrutescent, 
  much 
  branched 
  from 
  the 
  base, 
  subdecumbent, 
  the 
  ascend- 
  

   ing 
  stems 
  1 
  to 
  4 
  (rarely 
  6) 
  inches 
  in 
  length, 
  somewhat 
  silvery-silky-pubescent 
  

   throughout, 
  chiefly 
  below. 
  Leaves 
  numerous 
  toward 
  the 
  base, 
  size 
  very 
  varia- 
  

   ble, 
  petioles 
  slender, 
  2 
  to 
  3 
  inches 
  long, 
  leaflets 
  7 
  to 
  8, 
  usually 
  7, 
  oblanceolate, 
  

   acute, 
  mucrouate, 
  narrowed 
  at 
  the 
  base, 
  silvery-satiny 
  alike 
  above 
  and 
  below, 
  

   }4 
  to 
  3/^ 
  the 
  length 
  of 
  the 
  petiole 
  ; 
  spike 
  6 
  to 
  10 
  inches 
  (including 
  peduncle) 
  ,
