MUHLENBERGIA 



THE NEVADA LUPINES— II 

 By A. A. Heller 



Before taking up the remaining species of the section, I 

 wish to call attention to two errors that were allowed to creep 

 into the preceding number. The first is the statement that 

 Wadsworth is located in Churchhill county. This occurs on 

 pages 139 and 140. Wadsworth is really situated in Washoe 

 county, near the boundary line of Lyon county, which here runs 

 up into a sharp point only a few miles across, intruded between 

 Washoe and Churchhill counties. 



The second error is on page 137, where Watson is made to 

 say near "Soda Spring, Candelaria County." The frequent as- 

 sociation of Shockley's name with specimens collected at Can- 

 delaria, led me to unthinkingly put down this name. Instead 

 of "Candelaria" it should read Esmeralda county.

1 87 1. 



From about 2 cm. to 1 dm. high, widely spreading, the 



width usually about one and a half times the height: main stem 



practically none, but several to many secondary branches about 



1 cm. long, from which spring the petioles and peduncles, or 

 sometimes other short branches; stems pale, glabrous or nearly 

 so: petioles up to 5 cm. long, somewhat villous-hirsute, about 



2 mm. wide at the dilated base; stipules barely 2 mm. long, 

 bearded; leaflets 5 to 8, broadly oblanceolate, up to 15 mm. long, 

 5 mm. wide, obtuse, glabrous above, somewhat villous-hirsute 

 beneath in age, decidedly so when young: peduncles pubescent 

 like the petioles, usually about three times longer than the short
