Since the original was very imperfectly describe<l, I ai)pend 

 the following, drawn from mv no. 6592, collected at the type 

 locality: 



Perennial, silvery tlironghont except the flowers with ap- 

 pressed silky hairs: stems several, tnfled from a short woody 

 rootstock, herbacecnis above ground, 2 dm. high: leaves mostly 

 near the base, few on the flowering branches; stipules setaceou'^, 

 attenuate, 6 or 7 mm. long; petioles slender, usuall\- 6 or 7 cm. 

 long; leaflets 7 or 8, oblanceolate, about 18 mm. long, 4 mm. or 

 le.'^s wide above near the rounded apiculate apex: peduncks 

 almost scape-like, the flower bearing part i dm. long or less: 

 flowers more or less verticillate, violet-jnirple, 12 mm. long and 

 as deep, space between apices of banner and wings 6 mm.; calyx 

 lobes nearly equal, the upper ovate-lanceolate, 8 mm. long, 4 n)m. 

 wide at base, cleft to about the middle into oblong divisions, the 

 lower lobe en:ire, narrowly lanceolate, 9 mm. long, barely 3 mm. 

 wide: banner with the edges turned back, 3 mm. apart above, 

 6 or 7 mm. apart below, the whole showing a broad scoop-shaped 

 cavity viewed from the rear, the face yellowish or whitish, chan- 

 neled; wings moderately inflated, the body meanirirg about 

 5 mm. across, completely inclo-'-ing the keel, when spread out 

 4 mm. wide at base, 8 mm. wide near the top, the lower side 

 being much curved and rounded in the upper half; keel glab 

 rous, rather shallow, a little over 3 mm. deep at the middle, grad- 

 ually narrowed to the acute tip. 



No. 8624, collected May 31, near the summit of Mt. Ham- 

 ilton, Santa Clara county, elevation 4000 feet, on a westerly 

 grassy slope under and near a scattered growth of trees. It 

 does not seem to differ from the typical plant from about San 

 Francisco. 



LUPINUS DENSIFLORUS Reuth. 



No. 8561, collected May 23, about two miles beyond San 

 Mateo, San Mateo county, on the Half Moon Bay road, on a 

 gravelly bank, the flower ■; purplish tinged and rather closer 

 whorled than in the typical plant.
