yellow glands. Leaves oblong, obtuse, dentate, crenate or 
sinuate, with the veins conspicuous on the lower surface but 
not bullate, pale green, somewhat scabrous, 2-6 cm. long, 1-2% 
cm. wide, tapering at base and decurrent on the short petioles 
which are about 1 cm. long. Racemes 6-20 cm. long with 
internodes 1-4 cm., verticels 2-flowered, pedicels filiform, I-1% 
cm. long, bracts ovate, sessile, acute, a little shorter than the 
pedicels. Calyx campanulate, thin and veiny, with the base 
acuminate in flower, rounded when in fruit and becoming broad, 
1%-2% cm. long; divisions deltoid, acuminate to a slender point, 
¥% as long as the entire calyx. Corolla white, tinged with rose- 
color, 3 cm. long, with the lower lobe extending 1 cm. beyond 
the throat. Stigma exserted, pink. Nutlets dark brown, white 
pubescent, several sided with rounded angles, 3 mm. in diameter. 
This seems to be local in the Santa Lucia Mountains, having 
been found in one locality only, namely, on the hill separating 
King City from Jolon, near Mansfield’s ranch. It is readily dis- 
tinguished from the variable .S. Calycina by the slender, graceful 
habit, lack of tomentum, pinkish flowers, peculiar calyx and 
seeds. The specimens from which the description was drawn 
were collected by the author in both flower and fruit, June 
7, 1893. It grows in the same locality as the equally local 
Malvastrum involucratum Robinson. 
Mimulus modestus. Hispid and somewhat glandular, dwarf, 
2-4 cm. high, simple or more frequently branched from 
the base; the stems rather thick and leafy with the internodes 
shorter than the calyces. Leaves with broad, clasping petioles, 
half as long as the blades: the latter 7-15 mm. long, 5-10 mm. 
wide, spatulate, to oblong-spatulate, or frequently nearly orbicu- 
lar, obtuse at apex, entire or serrate with blunt teeth, strongly 
3-nerved or rarely 4-nerved from the base, glabrous and purplish 
on the lower surface, hispid on the upper, rather thick and 
inclined to be bullate. Flowers solitary on peduncles about 3mm. 
long, in the leaf-axils of all the leaves, even the earliest. Calyx 
slightly arcuate linear-oblong, 6 mm. long, equally oblique at 
base and apex, 5-toothed, strongly angled with conduplicate 
folds, the part surrounding the ovary and fruit membranous, the
