Not for the shrilly yellow style + narrow keel populations from the trans would be L. decumbens, var. agaphylla 225- L. agaphylla, Bloomer - near Big Cig. This is not L. melanattus, for which has another coly type, etc. It is what is called in Hort. Soc. 1897, L. decumbens, var. (232 and) + b & 85 mm., which Gr. had first called melanattus. It approaches L. decumbens & agaphylla but is more silvery + smaller flowered. If 231 is true decumbens this cannot be a variety - but so far as I can guess it is a new species - or perhaps the normal form of melanattus, or possibly a very silvery form of L. floccosum L. decumbens in this color, has narrow folded leaves, with rather dense racemes of smaller flowers. (Mimick of laxiflora) + agaphylla conglob. L. leucopiris, var.?
