 nearly prostrate, 4 10 in. long; herbage deep green, soft-pubescent: 

 petioles elongated; leaflets broadly obovate, obtuse, denticulate, ^ in. 

 long or less : involucre as broad as the long-peduncled heads, 4 8 lines 

 wide, shortly lobed and setaceously toothed: calyx-tube short, thin and 

 at length scarious; teeth selaceous-awned, plumose, sometimes 23 

 parted, usually exceeding the small purple corolla: pod 2-seeded.

23. T. Grayi, Loja. Erect, stout, with long internodes, 1 2 ft. high, 

 sparingly branched, villous with long spreading hairs: leaflets 1 in. long, 

 cuneate-oblong or elliptic-lanceolate, obtuse or acutish, sharply serrulate: 

 heads long-peduncled, 1 in. broad; the involucre as broad: calyx- tube 

 scarious, villous, 10-nerved; teeth linear-subulate from a triangular base, 

 plumose, as long as the dark red-purple corolla. Marin Co. 



24. T. fucatum, Lindl. Branches stout and somewhat fistulous, 

 often a foot long: leaflets 1 in. long, rhombic-obovate rather conspic- 

 uously spinulose-serrate or -dentate, in texture somewhat succulent: 

 heads \} 2 in. broad, 13 20-flowered: fl. 1 in. long or more; calyx- 

 tube campanulate, 1^ lines long; none of the teeth as long as the tube, 

 all triangular, the two upper short and acute, the three lower tapering to a 

 setaceous point; corolla cream-color, with a slight greenish tinge, fading 

 pinkish, the keel-petals with a dark purple spot; legume rather long- 

 stipitate. In low meadow lands; most frequent near the Bay. 



25. T. flaviiluni, Greene. Pale green and glaucescent, stoutish,

 inch long, broadly obovate, from pectinate-denticulate to entire : heads 

 % 1 inch broad, 5 12-flowered: flower seldom % inch long: calyx-tube 

 a line long, the shortest of the teeth decidedly longer, the 3 lower about

 More common than the last; usually on higher ground. 



26. T. virescens, Greene. Near the two preceding, but slender and 

 half as large : leaflets inverse-deltoid, broadest at summit and truncate, 

 sharply serrulate: slender peduncles twice the length of the leaves: 

 heads less than 1 in. broad: calyx-teeth all slender-subulate, the two upper 

 shorter than the tube, closely approximate, the lower twice the length of the 

 tube: corolla greenish-yellow, 78 lines long. Mountains and valleys
