shorter ; keel rather narrowly falcate, sparsely curled -hairy

Cochetopa Forest Reservation, middle southern Colorado, 

 growing in aspen groves at 8500 feet in the mountains, gath- 

 ered by E. F. Clark, 6 July, 1911. The plant when dry is so 

 fragile that the specimens have reached me only in fragments, 

 but they show the marks of a rather peculiar species in several 

 ways, as already indicated. 



LupiNUS Hnwi. Perennial, the rather slender but rigid 

 stems several, 1 to IJ^ feet high, bearing 1 to 3 racemes at 

 summit, otherwise simple, purplish underneath a certain 

 hoariness of short dense villous pubescence interspersed with 

 a few long white hirsute hairs ; absolutely basal foliage appar- 

 ently wanting, those of the main stem on slender but firm 

 petioles of 2 to 3 inches, purplish and pubescent ; leaflets 5 to 

 8, cuneate-oblong, very obtuse, 1 inch long, the largest Vi 

 inch wide near the summit, not very densely silky-strigose on 

 both faces, less so above : racemes short-peduncled, 3 inches 

 long, rather lax, the blue-purple flowers very small, more or 

 less definitely verticillate ; corolla only, or scarcely, 4 lines 

 long, the banner shorter than the wings, the keel shorter than 

 either, not falcate, strongly ciliate from base almost to apex : 

 pods short, rather lightly silky- villous, mostly 3-seeded, but 

 not a few 2-seeded only. 



This exceedingly well-marked lupine was collected on the 

 Coconino Forest Reservation in northern Arizona, 29 June, 

 1911, by Mr. R. R. Hill, who reports it common in open 

 thinly grassy groves of yellow pine. The flowers are the 

 smallest known among those of perennial lupines.
