Lupixus DouGLASii Agardh, Syn. 34. 1835. 

 This is readily distinguished by its narrow, practically lin- 

 ear leaflets. My 6jpo, collected on the Carniel river in 1903, 

 distributed as L. albifrons^ is typical. One of the specimens 

 with an unopened flower cluster shows subulate bracts longer 

 than the calyx. Carmel may well be the type locality, as Mon- 

 terey, only a few miles distant, was the headquarters of Douglas 

 while in California. The 'species ranges from Monterey to the 

 Santa Ynez mountains back of Santa Barbara. 



LuPiNUS FALLAX Greene, Erythea 2: 119. 1894. 

 A shrub, so far found only on Mt. Tamalpais, near San 

 Francisco. It too has very long bracts, but much broader leaves 

 than L. Doiiglasii. 



Lupixus emixexs Greene, Erythea 1: 125. 1893. 

 This differs iiowi fallax in having flovvers scarcely whorled 

 banner shorter than the wings, glabrous keel, and shorter and 

 fewer seeded nearly erect instead of spreading pods, the pubes- 

 cence more spreading. 



Lupixus Brittoxi Abrams, Bull. N. Y. Bot. Gard. 6: 391. 1910. 

 This species, known only from San Diego county, Califor- 

 nia, is distinquished by the very short appressed pubescence, ap- 

 pearing glaucescent rather than silky. Like eminens, the flow- 

 ers are not distinctly whorled. The seeds are small for the 

 group, light tan with darker spots. 



Lupixus jucuxdus Greene, Manual 106. 1894. 

 Known so far only from Solano count}', California, the type 

 grown at Berkely from seed obtained in Gate's canyon. 



Lupixus loxgifolius .Abrams, Fl. Los xAngeles 209. 1904. 

 Probably not the plant that Watson named as variety lon- 

 gifohus of L. Cliamissonis^ and which, like most varieties, is so 

 poorly characierized, that determination is impossible. This is 

 a more inland plant than Chamissonis^ has a different pubes- 

 cence, a loosely flowered inflorescence, upper calyx lip more cleft, 

 the white face of tiie banner changing to rose-purple instead of 

 remaining yellow, and the keel ciliate. It ranges from Los 

 Angeles county south to San Diego.
