41536 in the Rocky Mountain Herbarium with L. flavoculatus, 

 distributed under no. 942 as L. brevicaulis. 



Four collections from Colorado have come to hand. The 

 first is C. F. Baker jjj, collected at Arboles, June, 1899, dis- 

 tributed as A. brevicaulis and listed as such by Rydberg in the 

 Flora of Colorado. The second is by C. S. Crandall, collected 

 in the vicinity of Durango, June 26-27, 1898, distributed as L. 

 Kingii. I can find no record of this in the Flora of Colorado. 

 The third is Osterhout, Glenwood Springs, June 17, 1899, in 

 part. This is the type collection of L. scaposus Rydb. Bull. 

 Torr. Clnb .'54: 45. 1907. But on sheet 16950 in the Rocky 

 Mountain Herbarium there is one plant of L. scaposus, and 

 another that is plainly L. dispersus. The fourth is Purpas ijj, 

 collected May, 1892, at Surface Creek, and it also is not listed 

 in the Flora of Colorado. It was apparently distributed without 

 specific name, but sheet 1 281 76 in the herbarium of the Univer- 

 sity of California (Brandegee Herbarium) has "micensis Jones" 

 written in. This specimen is less compact than any of the 

 others, and the peduncles on two plants slightly exceed the leaves. 



From New Mexico we have a specimen collected by Wooton, 

 May 28, 1905, in the Organ mountains, Dona Ana county. 

 Some of these plants are large, having a spread of 2 dm. It was 

 apparently distributed as L. Sileri. There is another collection 

 from the same place by the same collector, April 30, 1893, dis- 

 tributed as L. Kingii. 



Jones j; 2j j, collected at Kanab, Utah, May 22, 1894, is also 

 this species. It was distributed from the U. S. National Her- 

 barium as Lupinus brevicaulis. One plant, apparently abnor- 

 mal, shows greatly elongated peduncles which were prostrate 

 when growing. 



A specimen collected by Norman C. II "i/son near Kingman, 

 Arizona, June, 1893, is also referred here. It is sheet 126959 * n 

 the herbarium of the University of California. 



There is a specimen of this species in the herbarium of Dr. 

 Greene labeled L. brevicaulis, collected by Lemmon in "X. F. 

 Cal. and Nevada." Since all of the other specimens are from 

 the southern part of the country, it is just possible that this was 

 collected in Arizona. It is one of the largest plants seen, hav- 

 ing a spread of 2 dm.
