Agardh’s ee accounts for L. nanus, but he evidently 
did not have access to Bentham’s description, for he credited 
Swartz as authority for his cited reference. His description 
(Syn. Gen. Lup. 11. 1835) is more comprehensive than Ben- 
tham’s but is based upon specimens seen in Lindley’s herbarium. 
He included the species in his ‘‘ Tribe D—A ngustifolii.””. Extracts 
from this treatment follow:

Included in his ‘Tribe Nasndioe® on page 20 of 
his monograph, Agardh presented his L. afinis. This he com- 
pared with L. nootkatensis and L. perennis and associated same 
with species not at all related to this or to each other. As 
explained in my last paper of this series, this Agardhian 
name has been applied by American botanists to a very distinct 
Californian species, to which I have had trouble in fitting 
gardh’s description. This should, however, be carefully com- 
pared with his own characterization of Z. manus, and for this 
purpose I pa liberally, as follows:

Careful comparison of these two descriptions gives me no 
satisfactory evidence that two distinct species are being treated.
