Let \(p\equiv 1\bmod 4\), \(p>13\), \(p\in\mathbb{P}\). Let \(G\) be the genus of a quaternary even positive definite \(\mathbb{Z}\)-lattice of discriminant \(4p\) whose 2-adic localization has a proper 2-modular Jordan component. It is shown that the orthogonal group of any lattice from \(G\) is generated by \(-1\) and the symmetries with respect to the roots of the lattice. The class number of \(G\) is computed. Furthermore it is shown that the theta series of degree 2 coming from the classes in \(G\) with nontrivial automorphism groups are linearly independent.
