olate, 5 to 10 cm. long, truncate to cuneate at the base and unequal, often de- 
current, attenuate, coarsely laciniate-dentate, the teeth mostly triangular and not 
very acute, dull green, conspicuously veined, puberulent on both surfaces; in- 
florescence short, of about 6 pairs of corymbs or fewer, these on stout, spreading 
peduncles, finely glandular-puberulent; pedicels slender, 15 mm. long or less; 
calyx lobes short, triangular-ovate, acute or acutish; corolla 6 mm. long, dull

Type in the U. 8. National Herbarium, no. 495413, collected in the Mogollon 
Mountains on the West Fork of the Rio Gila, Socorro County, altitude about 
2,250 meters, August 2, 1903, by O. B. Metcalfe (no. 345). 
ADDITIONAL SPECIMENS EXAMINED: Graham, July 21, 1900, Wooton. 
Related to 8. californica Cham. & Schlecht., but with sparser inflorescence, 
smaller flowers, thicker and more strongly veined leaves not cordate at the 
base, and different pubescence. We have seen two specimens of S. parviflora 
from Arizona, the one collected by G. C. Nealley in 1891 (no. 90), no locality 
given, and the other from the canyon of the Blue River near Coopers Ranch, 
Graham County, collected by Walter Hough, July 5, 1905. 
Veronica micromera Wooton & Standley, sp. nov. 
Slender, stoloniferous perennial; stems slender, 10 to 20 em. long, ascending, 
freely rooting at the lower nodes, succulent, glabrous; leaves small, 1 to 2 em. 
long, oval or obovate, the upper scarcely reduced, mostly shorter than the inter- 
nodes, obtuse, thin, entire or obscurely and remotely seriulate, all the upper 
Sessile, some of the lower contracted into petioles 1 mm. long, or all sessile; 
racemes axillary, slender, 3 to 7 cm. long, glabrous; pedicels very slender, 
ascending, or divergent and curved upward at the tip, subtended by very small, 
linear bracts; sepals 3 mm. long, narrowly lanceolate or elliptic-lanceolate, 
glabrous, very acute, in fruit evidently exceeding the capsule: corolla nearly 
white, bluish, scarcely exceeding the sepals; capsules small, 8 mm. long, glab- 
rous, broadly oval, nearly orbicular, scarcely as broad as long, rounded at the 
apex but not broadly so, 
Type in the U. 8S. National Herbarium, no. 686250, collected along ditches about 
Shiprock, on the Navajo Reservation, July 25, 1911, by Paul C. Standley (no. 
7283). Altitude 1,425 meters. 
The plant is similar to V. americana, but is much smaller and more slender in 
all its parts. The leaves are almost all sessile instead of petiolate, and the 
Sepals are longer and narrower, . 
BIGNONIACEAE. 
Stenolobium incisum Rose & Standley, sp. nov. 
A low shrub 1 meter high or less, the stems simple or very sparingly branched ; 
leaves 17 cm. long or less, with 5 to 11 leaflets, usually with 9; leaflets linear- 
lanceolate, mostly about 6 cm. Jong and a little less than 1 em. wide, acuminate, 
_ attenuate to the base, the uppermost sessile, the lower conspicuously petiolulate, 
all sharply incised-serrate with deep, salient teeth, glabrous, or sometimes 
sparingly puberulent beneath; flowers about 4 em. long, on peduncles about 
5 mm. long, in simple racemes, each peduncle subtended by a linear bract; calyx 
with 5 acute, cuspidate teeth; fruit 12 to 15 cm. long, smooth, or with numerous 
light colored lenticels. 
Type in the U. 8. National Herbarium, no 46776, collected on hills near 
Chihuahua, Mexico, November 15, 1886, by C. G. Pringle (no. 960). Also col- 
lected in the same locality by the same collector, October 2, 1885 (no. 360).
