SOME NEW LUPINES. 233 



This, like the preceding, was collected by Rothrock, his 

 label says at Fort Tejon ; but most probably that collector's 

 localities for plants are untrustworthy. As far as Dr. Gray's 

 description of his A. erosa var. obtusa goes, this plant agrees 

 with it ; but he testifies that Rothrock obtained the plant at 

 Bartlett's Canon near Santa Barbara, and that is not only far 

 removed from Fort Tejon, but is in an extremely different 

 climatic region. This plant, then, is from near the ocean, 

 and within the fog belt. The thinness of the texture was not 

 noted by Dr. Gray. The closet botanist is apt to fail in this. 

 The distinction of the hood, as truncate squarely, not 

 obliquely, Gray took note of.
