Pod attenuate upwards with a white stripe on septum. Flowering in July and August. ^^ Abundant from Bishop, Inyo county, up Bishop Creek and its tributaries into the Sierra ranges up to 8000 or 9000 feet altitude. Type No. 2672. This has been distributed by Heller as C. excavatus Greene, but Dr. Greene, who examined this specimen, says it is not his species. Purdy (Gal. Acad. Proc, Vol. II. 148) classes all the green banded Mariposas as C. macrocarpus Doug. C. discolor possesses the green band and general habit of C. macrocarpus as illustrate<by Purdy but in coloring and habitat it is sufficiently distinct. C. excavatus Greene with its prominent gland and invenus- tus like appearance was originally discovered by Schockley in the neighborhood of Bishop and so far as I can discover it has 11.
