108 New Species of Plants. [zoE 



the depauperate form common about San Diego in "dry seasons," 

 described by Nuttall under the name of Fenzlia concinna. 



Collected on Cedros Island, 1897, and growing in abundance 

 near the summit of the highest mountain, on the sides of gulches 

 and under the shade of bushes. 



Salvia peninsularis. Herbaceous and probably perennial, 

 1 m. high, branching below : stems slightly pubescent : leaves 

 ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, sharply serrate, cordate to somewhat 

 cuneate at base, white-tomentose beneath, pilose and greener 

 above, the larger 12 cm. long, 5 cm. wide, on petioles 2-2 j4 cm, 

 long: racemes 15 cm. long, bracts not seen : verticels 1-2 cm. 

 apart, 4-6 flowered ; pedicels 5 mm. long and less, white-pubes- 

 cent : calyx pubescent, especially upon the nerves, 7 mm. long ; 

 lobes short, the upper blunt, shorter than the two deltoid lower 

 ones : corolla 3 cm. long or less, brick red, its tube three times 

 as long as the calyx, ventricose at the throat, the pubescent 

 galea longer than the lip, style bearded. 



In Mr. Fernald's Synopsis of American Salvias, this species 

 would seem to belong near S. Martensii. Collected at San 

 Pablo, Central Lower California, Apr. 22, 1889, and by Dr. C. A. 

 Purpus near the same locality in 1898. 



Salvia similis. A much branched shrub, forming rounded 

 clumps 1 m. high or more, young growth white with a close 

 pubescence : leaves ovate-acuminate, cuneate at base, serrate or 

 crenate-serrate, minutely white-stellate especially on the nerves, 

 the larger ones 4-5 cm. long and 2 cm. wide, on petioles more or 

 less white with a close indumentum, 3 cm. long and less : 

 racemes short, 3 cm. long and less; flowers crowded; bracts 

 linear-lanceolate, 1 cm. long: calyx 5 mm. long on a pedicel 1 

 mm. long, tomentulose, striate, half the length of the light blue 

 corolla : style bearded. 



This species resembles 5. Cedrosensis and has been distributed 

 under that name. It is a larger shrub with thinner, greener and 

 more acuminate leaves that are often serrate. The short flower- 

 ing racemes are borne at the ends of the spreading branches, while 

 those of S. Cedrosensis terminate upright white shoots, half a 

 foot or more high. It grows among the Cape Region Mountains.
