2. Amorpha occidentalis sp. nov. 
Shrubby below, 2-3 meters high; flowering branchlets minutely 
pubescent; leaf-rachis sparsely pubescent, without pickle-like 
glands, bearing 8-10 pairs of leaflets; leaflets ovate to narrowly 
oblong, sparsely pubescent with or gling Cae hairs, firm in 
texture, 2-4 cm. long; raceme 10-18 cm. long; pedicels 1.6 mm 
long; calyx-tube nearly glabrous, eee mm. long; caly teeth 
very short, triangular, nae ene petal about 5 m 
long; mature fruit not s 
This species has been understood as 4. californica Nutt., but 
Nuttall’s specimens in the Torrey Herbarium, although too young 
to determine accurately the character of the calyx-teeth, have 
prickle-like glands. Plants from Santa Barbara, the type locality, 
agreeing with Nuttall’s as to prickle-like glands, have lanceolate 
calyx-teeth nearly equaling the tube. I have not seen the type 
of A. hispidula Greene, but the central California plants are less 
pubescent, and have relatively shorter calyx-teeth.
