Cf. with L. alpestre. The pods are not infrequently but four seeds, leaving no distinction between it & L. montanum. It seems to accord perfectly with Dubibian specimen figured by H&T & L. alpestre? creeps that the flowers as usually, but not always somewhat longer. The distinctions between the species seem trifling. This species Duthler includes L. cajus, Ht., & L. platyphyllos, Ht. L. filipes & L. pterocarpum are variable & the development of the membranous wing somewhat apical, as L. radiata, Ht. & L. Laciniata, Ht. (which includes his L. ornithopoda, in the upper district, as also L. spinulosa, Ht. [L. stellatiflora, Ht.]) Spinulose again. - Longland's spring cistus in Ht. 9. is evidently the same as Willard's aurea. It is like nothing in Herb. Barry, which is all rotting - but no vivid apical line. I believe it a good species, whether Hooker's or not Make in var. 9.
