Fabaceae 

 Lupinus Guggenheimianus 



Sericeous throughout. Stems slender, much branched, the 

 branchlets short, erect, terete, leafy. Stipules very small, sub-

 Avide, oblanceolate with acute base and obtuse minutely mucro- 

 nate summit, the mucro acute ; entire, strongly sericeous on both 

 surfaces. Flowers not seen, only the empty twisted valves of 

 the legume present, some of them bearing the vestiges of the 

 androecium and the style. Androecium about 1 cm. long, the 

 united portion slightly shorter than the free filaments, Avhich are 

 extremely slender. Legumes in their twisted condition 2 cm.

 slender. 



Pongo de Quime, 11,500 feet, on a dry mountain-side, 0. E. 

 White, July 12, 1921 {no. 170). Species dedicated to the Guggen-

 at a critical time.
