LUPINUS 



LUPIN US 



united into a closed tube : pod ll-valved, flattened, en- 

 closing several large seeds. A very variable genus in 

 the garden. 



There are numerous garden hybrids of unknown par- 

 entage. Some of these names will be found in the sup- 

 plementary list. Voss groups these under the name of 

 X. hyhridus, Hort., or Florists' Lupines. They have 

 variegated flowers. 



In addition to those described below the following na- 

 tive species have been advertised, mostly by Orillett, in 

 1881, for western collections. Probably they are n^t 

 in cult. They are mostly described in Bot. Calif.: L. 

 alhlcaulis, Ohami.ssonis, clensiflorus, lepidus, lenco- 

 pliyUus^ ornatns and vilJosus.
