2. Astragalus diphysus A. Gray, Mem. Amer. Acad. n. ser. 4: 34. 1849. 

 Cystium diphjsum Rydb. Colo. Agr. Exp. Sta. Bull. 100: 204. 1906.

 Type locality: "In the West Humboldt, East Humboldt, and Clover mountains, 



Nevada."

 Zone. 



The specimen cited was named by Doctor Greene on the sheet as a new species and 

 does not exactly agree with the other material of A. calycosus, the calyx teeth and the 

 pubescence being noticeably different. The material we have seen is without fruit 

 and we prefer to wait for more complete specimens before accepting it as a new 

 species. 



4. Astragalus nuttallianus DC. Prodr. 2: 289. 1825. 



Hamosa nuttaUiana Rydb. Colo. Agr. Exp. Sta. Bull. 100: 204. 1906. 



Type locality: "In planitiebus Amer. Bor. ad Red-river." 



Range : Mountains of Colorado and New Mexico to Arkansas and Texas. 



New Mexico: Farmington; Carrizo Mountains; Lemitar; Florida Mountains; 

 Deming; Mangas Springs; Carrizalillo Mountains; Organ Mountains; Star Peak; 

 mountains west of San Antonio; Roswell. Upper Sonoran Zone. 



Our plant is much more pubescent than the eastern form, which is the typical one, 

 being always at least grayish from the abundant appressed pubescence. 



5. Astragalus moUissimus Torr. Ann. Lye. N. Y. 2: 178. 1828. Loco weed. 

 Astragalus simulans Cockerell, Torreya 2: 154. 1902. 



Type locality: On the Platte, Colorado. 



Range: Wyoming and Nebraska to New Mexico and western Nebraska, 



New Mexico: Las Vegas; Santa Rosa; Gray; Roswell; White Mountains; Sierra 

 Grande; Nara Visa. Dry hills and plains, in the Upper Sonoran and Transition zones. 



This is one of the commonest and best known loco weeds. As we have seen it 

 growing, it is nowhere very common in New Mexico and so does relatively little damage 

 to stock interests. These remarks apply only to this sjiecies, not to all loco weeds. 

 The type of A. simulans was collected near Las Vegas by Cockerell. 



6. Astragalus oreophilus Rydb. Bull. Torrey Club 31: 561. 1904.
