To the above speeies, fully described by Agardh,. we have the two following to add :—
24. L . truncatus ; appresse pubescenti-pilosus demum glaber, foliolis 5-7 linearibus
basi angustatis apice bi-trid en tatis, stipulis minutis linearibus brevibus, racemis elongatis,
floribus alternis, bracteis pedicello brevioribus persistentibus, calycis b racteolati labio
superiore b ipartito inferiore integro (minute trid en tato , N u t t) , ovario lineari-oblongo
hirsutissimo.— N u t t mst.— Torr. et Gr. FL ined.
Nearly allied to L . linifolius, Roth ; and an imperfect specimen, in Dr Lindley’s collection from Douglas
(California), is doubtfully referred to tbat species by Agardh. But it is truly distinct, in the more truncate
leaflets and the much smaller stipules and bracteas, which latter are also persistent. Mr Nuttall found it at
San Diego, N. California, and his name we adopt. Flowers deeply tinged with purple.
25. L . parviflorus ; elatus erectus ramosus pubescenti-hirsutus demum glaber, foliolis
5-7 obovato-lanceolatis, stipulis m inutis subulatis persistentibus, racemis elongatis, floribus
(parvis cæruleis) subverticillatis, bracteis subulatis pedicellum æquantibus deciduis,
calycis sericei labiis subæqualibus superiore bidentato inferiore integro, (legumine liirsuto
su b trisp e rmo ) N x d t mst.— Torr. et Gr. FL ined.
H a b . Between Henry and Smith’s Rivers, Snake Country. (Tolmie.)— An exceedingly well-marked
species, U to 2 feet high, subglaucous. Leaflets broader upwards, acute or generally very obtuse. Racemes
long, slender, of numerous small bluish flowers.
