This species seems very nearly allied to A. fruticosa (and also to A. angusti- 
_ folia!), but the fruits are smaller and only a little falcate. Unfortunately I saw 
only very few mature fruits, and I believe that the following forms may belon 
to A. californica rather than to A. frutiosa; some of them probably represent 
A. laevigata Boynton, but I never found a standard broader than long. For 
further comments see under A. laevigata.

Porret (J. c.) gives a very clear description in French and the following short 
but satisfactory diagnosis in Latin: “Amorpha glabra, foliolis pedicellatis, obtu- 
sis; dentibus calycinis omnibus obtusis, brevissimis.’”” Boynton and all other 
authors seem to have completely overlooked Porret’s description. A. glabra 
also seems to be a very local species, like A. Schwerini.
