1. Salpiglossis prostrata. Hook, et Am. supra, p. 153. 



The plant before us may prove a distinct species ; it is not prostrate, has apparently an annual root, and 

 a few short ascending simple stems ; we incline, however, to think that the specimens being in a younger state 

 may cause these differences. Bentham has remarked, in the Bot. Reg., under t. 1882, that this and some 

 others from the West Coast of America, will probably form a new genus. 



1. Pentstemon cordifolius (Bentk.) ; caule pruinoso, foliis breviter petiolatis lato- 

 ovatis obtusis integerrimis basi cordatis bullatis subtus nervosis, panicula laxa, corollis 

 tubulosis profunde bilabiatis, labio superiore emarginato inferiore trifido, filamento sterili 

 barbato, antheris glabris. Benth. Scroph, Ind. p. 7. 



2. P. staticifolius (Lindl.); caule adscendente pubescente, foliis radicalibus oblongo- 

 lanceolatis in petiolum longum angustatis integerrimis glabris, caulinis sessilibus cordato- 

 ovatis dentatis pubescentibus, cymis subsessilibus calycibusque tomentosis, corolla? ventri- 

 cosae pubescentis labiorum laciniis ovatis obtusis subaequalibus. Lindl. in Bot. Reg. t. 1770. 



With this we are wholly unacquainted, except from Mr Lindley's figure and description ; we fear that it 

 was sent from Columbia, and that it is a mere variety of P. glandulosus. Bough 



3. P. breviflorus (Lindl.) ; annuus, foliis lanceolatis serratis glabris summis sessilibus, 

 panicula laxa brachiata, calyce pubescenti, corollae labio superiore lineari arcuato emargi- 

 nato villoso inferiore deflexo 3-partito tubo calyce breviore, staminibus fertilibus basi 

 villosis, sterili glabro. Lindl. in Bot. Reg. t. 1946. 



4. P. heterophyllus (Lindl.) ; suffruticosus, foliis glaucescentibus integerrimis inferiori- 

 bus lineari-lanceolatis superioribus linearibus, racemo virgato, pedicellis subflore bibrac- 

 teolatis, sepalis ovatis, corolla glaberrima superne ventricosa imberbi, stamine sterili glabro, 



antheris sagittatis apice fimbriatis. — a. sepalis ovatis acuminatis Lindl. in Bot. Reg. I. 



1899. — (3. sepalis orbiculari-ovatis cuspidatis. 



The leaves, as in almost all the species, are broader below ; but since these pass, by insensible gradations, 

 into the linear ones at the top of the stem, we scarcely think the specific name appropriate. 



5. P. laricifolius ; perennis cagspitosus humilis glaucescens glaberrimus, foliis angus- 

 tissime linearibus obtusiusculis integerrimis nitidis ad caulium basin dense congestis 

 superioribus remotiusculis, racemis foliosis, pedicellis folio florali brevioribus supra basin 

 bibracteolatis, sepalis ovatis acuminatis margine membranaceis, corolla glaberrima superne 

 ventricosa labio inferiore ad faucem piloso, stamine sterili piloso, antherae loculis divari- 

 catis glaberrimis.
