5. Hamosa Andersonii (A. Gray) Rydb. Astragalus Ander-
sonii A. Gray, Proc, Am. Acad. 6: 524. 1866. Watson placed
this next to Astragalus malacus, where I am inclined to retain
.it on account of the spreading pubescence of the broad pod.
Jones placed it in his section Hamosi next to A. Congdoni. It
is true that in certain respects it is intermediate between the \
Malacae and the next group. ÄyÖb» ß * A • Cr #
