36 PLANTS BAR ERIAN^. 



canescent; raceme short-ped uncled, less elongated, open and 

 subverticillate; pedicels and short gibbous calyx velvety: 

 corolla at first white, the banner only at length changing 

 to reddish-purple, this rather shorter than the other petals; 

 keel rather broadly lunate and not long-pointed, strongly 

 woolly-ciliate throughout: pods oblong-linear, 1J inches 

 long, silky-tomentose, 5-seeded ; seeds flat, white. 



Also at Cedar Edge, 24 June, n. 249; the strictly two- 

 colored rather large corollas rendering the plant very 

 attractive. 



LUPINUS AMPLUS. Stems clustered, stout, 3 feet high, 

 very leafy with leaves of the largest dimensions, the thin 

 elliptic-lanceolate acute leaflets about 10 and 3 to 5 inches 

 long, green and glabrous above, sparsely appressed-silky- 

 hairy beneath and more strongly so on the margin; the 

 stem and peduncles villous: raceme sessile, 10 inches long, 

 both broad and rather dense, nowhere subverticillate: 

 pedicels J inch long or more, densely hirsute, as also the 

 short calyx: corolla of the largest, j inch long; banner 

 shortest, dark-purple; wings violet, .conspicuously striate- 

 veined with purple; keel falcate, slender-pointed, hirtellous- 

 ciliate above the middle: pods not seen, but ovaries silky- 

 tomentose. 



At Cerro Summit above Cimarron, 17 June, n. 164. Very 

 large and showy, recalling L. magnus of the Californian sea- 

 board, almost as large, but not succulent; and quite as 

 distinct from the far-northwestern L. polyphyllus. 



LUPINUS LEPTOSTACHYUS. Clustered stems stout, very 

 erect, 2 feet high or more, with relatively small leaves and 

 the smallest ot flowers in very long racemes: leaflets about 

 9, oblong-linear, abruptly acute, unequal, the longest 1J
