Excerpt from Muhlenbergia, 1933, Vol. 7: A Journal of Botany A few days ago while referring to a letter written me by Dr. Greene, I discovered that one sentence had been carelessly read by me, and therefore I owe an apology to both Dr. Greene and Professor C. P. Smith. The passage is as follows: "Lately I was well on the road to a description of a Californian annual species, which is here under the name of "L. apricus." I saw it was not at all that, and hunting further, I discovered that the thing had been published by you quite a while ago, your L. persistens" (vallicola). Now, what I thought at the time, was that Dr. Greene considered apricus to be the same as my vallicola, and so informed Professor Smith. This should clear up the difficulty mentioned by him on page 135 of volume 6. The latter part of May and a few days of early June, 1910, were spent by me in that wonderful country first made known botanically by Captain Meriwether Lewis, and a little later, but now nearly a century past, by that hardy explorer, David Douglas, who first discovered so many of our Pacific coast species. I refer to the Columbia river region. My main object was to study lupines at the places where Douglas collected his types, and this I was able to do in a satisfactory way, although it is necessary to spend several seasons there to cover all the ground. Among the species of which dependable material was obtained are L. micranthus, bicolor, leucophyllus, plumosus, polyphyllus and sulphureus. Two of these are treated in this paper, and the others will be mentioned later. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
