VoL. 5] Cleistogamous Flowers in Scrophulariacee. 13 
No authors who have written of this Cypress have mentioned 
the delightful fragrance of the fresh foliage. Probably they have 
know only dried specimens from which the charateristic odor 
disappears. It is somewhat like sandalwood, but sweeter and not 
so strong and with a flavor of pineapple. However, even with- 
out this, there ought to be no difficulty in distinguishing C. Mac- 
nabiana from its associate C. Goveniana. Its later period of 
blooming, its delicate foliage, sprinkled all over with tiny white 
glands, and its peculiar cones with their horn-like bosses mark it 
as distinct from this as well as from all other species. 
CLEISTOGAMOUS FLOWERS IN SCROPHULARIACES. 
T. S. BRANDEGEE. 
LINARIA CANADENSIS Dum. as it grows about San Diego 
has a multitude of cleistogamous flowers on the lower part of the 
main and the whole length of the many side branches. These 
flowers are from 114-3 mm. long (not equaling the calyx-lobes), 
not spurred, usually white, but bluish in transitional forms. The 
fully developed flowers are as largeas I have seen in the specise. 
ANTIRRHINUM COOPERI Gray. The early flowers of this 
plant are often, if not always, cleistogamous, and 4. /ilipes 
Gray was evidently founded on such a condition. 
A. Wartsonr V. & R. has early cleistogamous flowers. 
A. SUBSESSILE Gray. ‘This is the common species about San 
Diego and in consequence has been most observed. While cleis- 
togamy is the rule in the young plant, it does not always occur. 
Transition forms are found in the later flowers, which even though 
still cleistogamous often show color; the earlier flowers being . 
white and scarcely éxceeding the calyx-lobes.
