TEUCRIUM OCCIDENTALE Gray, var. boreale (Bicknell), n. comb. 
T. boreale Bicknell, Bull. Torr. Bot. Cl. xxviii. 171 (1901).— The first 
specimens cited Ьу Dr. Gray under his T. occidentale, the Nebraska 
plants of Hayden, “еіс.” ІН. Engelmann], have abundant short 
capitate or stipitate glands amongst the longer somewhat viscid hairs, 
and represent a species which extends across the continent from Maine 
to British Columbia and California. An extreme phase of the plant 
with few or no capitate glands amongst the long hairs of the calyx has 
a similar range and does not seem specifically separable from T. 
occidentale. This is the plant described by Mr. Bicknell as T. boreale. 
It has been mistaken by Piper, in his Flora of Washington! for the 
true T. occidentale, while the typical viscid T. occidentale is described 
by him as a new subspecies viscidum Piper, Contrib. U. S. Nat. Herb. 
xi. 487 (1906). 
STACHYS TENUIFOLIA Willd., var. aspera (Michx.), n. comb. S. 
aspera Michx. FI. ii. 5 (1803).— The familiar specific name, S. aspera, 
unfortunately, is antedated by 8. tenuifolia Willd. Sp. iii. 100 (1801), 
which must be taken up for the species. S. tenuifolia is the smoother 
phase of the plant, which has been passing as S. aspera, var. glabra 
Gray, Syn. Fl. ii. pt. 1, 387 (1878). 
STACHYS PALUSTRIS L., var. homotricha, n. var., caule retrorso- 
hirsuto, pilis longis subuniformibus.— Sides and angles of the stems 
almost uniformly hirsute with long retrorse hairs; otherwise like the 
typical form.— A frequent plant from eastern New Brunswick to 
Connecticut and central New York, thence westward to the Pacific. 
Type collected by the writer оп a sandy esker at Brownville, MAINE, 
September 20, 1900. In typical S. palustris the angles of the stem are 
hirsute with spreading or reflexed hairs, but the sides of the stem are 
finely appressed-pubescent. 
SATUREJA glabra (Nutt.), n. comb. Hedeoma glabra Nutt. Gen. i. 
16 (1818). Н. arkansana Nutt. Trans. Am. Phil. Soc., n. s., v. 186 
(1834). Calamintha Nuttallii Benth. in DC. Prodr. xii. 230 (1848). 
Calamintha glabella, var. Nuttallii Gray, Man. ed. 2, 307 (1856). 
Clinopodium glabrum Ktze., Rev. Gen. 515 (1891). Satureja arkan- 
sana, Briq. in Engl. & Prantl, Pflanzenf. iv. Ab. 3, 302 (1896).— The 
writer follows Briquet in considering Calamintha Lam. inseparable 
generically from the older Satureja L. 
1 Contrib. U. S. Nat. Herb. хі. (1906).
