25 (a). A. didymocarpus (Hook. & Arn.) : somewhat erect, rather hairy ;
leaflets about 8 pairs, obovate-oblong, emarginate [often 2-cleft at the apex] ;
stipules small, ovate, membranaceous, slightly connate at the base of the
petiole ; peduncles longer than the leaves ; flowers small, capitate ; teeth of
the hirsute calyx subulate, straight, as long as the tube ; legumes [very
small] coriaceous, didymous, rugose, the lobes 1-seeded. Hook. Sp A m .!
bot. Beechey, suppl. p. 334, t. 81.
California, Douglas !—- Stem 6—10 inches high; the root apparently
annual. Hairs of the calyx &c. mostly black. Legumes deeply divided
into 2 one-seeded lobes, strongly rugose transversely.
28. A. multicaulis (Nutt.)—This name is preoccupied by Ledebour for a
species of Altaic Siberia. Our plant may therefore bear the name of A.
pubentissimus.

4 (a). P. Hookeriana: low, eanescently pubescent ; stems much branched
from the base, ascending; leaflets 7-9 pairs, oblong or linear-oblong,
slightly petiolulate, rather rigid; stipules lanceolate, membranaceous; spikes
short, on peduncles scarcely the length of the leaves; bracts setaceous, about
the length of the very short pedicels ; teeth of the calyx subulate, shorter
than the tube, and about half the length of the (ochroleucous ?) corolla ;
legumes very large, inflated, obovoid, obtuse, tapering into a very short
Stipe, mottled with purple. :
Interior of Oregon, probably near the Rocky Mountains, Douglas!__
Stem 5-6 inches high, perennial. Flowers rather small ; the bracts) calyx,
and pedicel pubescent with whitish and black hairs intermixed. Ovary
panescent. Legumes perfectly glabrous, thin and membranaceous, obovoid
or obovoid-oblong, nearly 2 inches long, whitish and beautifully mottled
with purple.—Our specimens are nearly out of flower, but finely in fruit;
when the large mottled legumes present a very striking appearance.
