5-20-39 Viola purpurea Tell T645; M318 FL Palomar Obs
Ovaries only slightly hairy. Plant very like ill (T). (Only
other person (M) would be V. lobata Benths var. integrifolia
Wats but rootstock as desc (M) is at - marked below lefty
summit" (T) rules this out.) Spurs very short.
5-20-39 Vicia californica Greene T582; M272 FL at
young jr. Palomar Obs. Corolla only 14-16 mm hence
one suspects V. villosa Roth but (see G526; B.M.G.C.P.392)
one plant not "many-fl" (fls 4-6, via one seen? )
not resembling V. Calcea; and "limb of standard" not
"a half or less as long as claw" (limb almost twice as
long as claw). St. 4-angled v not very marked gig.
gag (see M.v.T for V.americana Mull) but plant weak.
Hrd def villous pubescent (as V.c - is desc.) v three
plants collected at ± 6000 ft. alt. Lvs fairly firm
but hardly "subcoriaceous" (M); the truncate ones
denticulate at apex as desc (T). Corolla whitish, tinged
more or less with lavender-purple. Pods glabrous.

5-20-39 Lupinus ex cubitus Jones T532; M 252
FL Palomar Obs. (R.B.K. does not know whether this the
same as L seen along route which Mr. Covell called
"a variety L. albifrons"). Our plant answers better to keys v desc of L. ex cubitus. Keel "broad, not
narrowed"
