NBW PAPIIvIONACEAE. 85 



at first taken for B. tindoria, of which it has somewhat the 

 mode of flowering ; though there is nothing else by which to 

 connect it with that species. Its aspect is more that of a 

 broad-leaved and axillary-flowered B. lanceolata. 



I/UPiNUS ClBmentinus. Perennial (?), 2 feet high, with 

 stems or basal branches decumbent, leafy throughout with 

 small leaves and everywhere rather shortly and roughly hirsute 

 with coarse hairs : leaflets about Yi, inch long, cuneate-oblong, 

 very obtuse, thin, alike green on both faces: racemes short, 

 subsessile, the flowers large, scattered : corolla f inch long 

 and as broad, deep purple ; keel petal narrowly falciform, 

 naked : half grown pods very densely hirsute-tomentose. 



Island of San Clemente, California, June, 1903, collected by 

 Mrs. Trask, who records it as occurring on only one particu- 

 lar part of the island. The plant is not known to a certainty 

 as being a perennial, but there are marks on the specimen 

 which seem to indicate it as being other than annual . 



LuPiNUS HYACINTHINUS. Tall perennial, the several stems 

 upright or nearly so, leafy to the summit, there ending in a 

 sessile short raceme of large purple flowers, these but indis- 

 tinctly verticillate ; herbage rather dull-green by a short 

 stiSish but appressed pubescence, this longer and denser on 

 the upper face of leaves : petioles short, about equalling the 

 leaflets, these about 7, oblong-linear, very acute, nearly 2 

 inches long ; pubescence of rachis, pedicels and calyx denser 

 and less appressed, rather villous-hirtellous : lips of calyx 

 subequal, both entire : corolla f inch long, the banner shortest 

 of the petals, keel longest, somewhat strongly falcate, naked.
