Hab. Woods and along rivers ; common in Washington Territory 

 and Oregon. — An extremely variable plant, as to the form, texture, 

 and apex of the leaves, as well as in the teeth of the calyx. We find 

 it impossible to define the limits between the species here brought 

 together. We are thus able to confirm the opinion expressed by Sir 

 William Hooker in his account of Geyer's plants. 



2. LATHYRUS, Linn. 



1. Lathyrus maritimus, Bigel. 

 Hab. Sea-coast of Washington Territory and Oregon ; common.
