Hosackia rosea n. sp. Plate lv. 



Stems low, numerous, from spreading rootstocks, 

 flowering from the lowest axils; leaflets 7— 11, glabrous 

 above, glaucous and sparingly white-villous beneath, 5-6 

 mm. long, petiolulate, obovate, mucronate (the odd leaflet 

 is truncate) ; rhachis and short petiole 1-2^ cm. long, 

 villous-pubescent, becoming glabrous; stipules thin but 

 not scarious, lanceolate-acuminate, 2-3 mm. long; ped- 

 uncles 3—4 cm. long; bracts of 1—5 leaflets, 1—2 cm. from 

 the umbel; flowers rose-color, 5-8 on short pedicels, 

 subtended by an involucre of 5-6 short teeth; calyx cam- 

 panulate, 4 mm. long, tinged and obscurely veined with 

 dark rose-color, especially on the 5 unequal, villous-ciliate, 

 triangular teeth ; standard orbicular, emarginate, 6 mm. 

 wide; wings broad, much surpassing the keel which is 

 marked by parallel lines and blotches of a deeper crim- 

 son; anthers orbicular, the line between the cells brown 

 or dark red; immature pod linear, straight, compressed, 

 usually 10-seeded. 



This pretty little Hosackia formed mats at the edge of 

 the brush, near Fort Bragg, along the road to Glen Blair; 

 also on the road to Ukiah, near Mendocino City. It was 

 collected by the writer in the former locality, June 22, 

 1894. 



It belongs to the Section Euhosackia. The pubescence 

 and position of the bracts ally it to the species in the latter 

 part of the section. 



The type is in the Herbarium of the California Acad- 

 emy of Sciences.
