spread out, 8 mm. wide across the eroded, slightly notched blunt 

 apex, 3 mm. longer than the wings; these obliquely oblong, 3 

 mm. wide across the rounded apices; keel about 2 mm. shorter 

 than the wings (or i cm. long), the hooded apex 3 mm. across, 

 with a V-shaped notch 2 mm. deep: pods 3 cm. long, i cm. 

 wide, nearly glabrous, about 6-seeded, the seeds 4 mm. across,

The type is no. 7938, collected June i, 1905, near Shasta 

 Retreat, Siskiyou county, California, in rich ground among 

 shrubs. In habit it is much like V. californica Greene, but has 

 different characters. That species is much more piibescent, has 

 cuneate-obovate leaflets usually dentate at apex, and the flower 

 is larger with perhaps different characters, but these are omitted 

 in the original description.
