No. 7620, collected April 7, in a field in adobe soil a short 

 distance east of Caliente, Kern county. If Nuttall's description 

 of "stipules subulate" is correct, this plant must be something 

 else, as they are ovate, the free part lance-acuminate. He also 

 says the leaflets are linear, but in our plant they are mostly nar- 

 rowly cuneate. Originally from "the island of Santa Catalina 

 and San Pedro."
