strengthen the species by remarks concerning differences of 
climate, but unaccountably omits to mention the fact that the 
flanks of Mt. St. Helena and of the Coast Range north of San 
Francisco generally, are notoriously foggy in summer, and there- 
fore not the parched region his language would infer. eméste- 
mon Davidsonii is the Alpine form of the species. It was 
collected by Dr. Gustav Eisen on high mountains at the head of 
King’s River in 1885; by Mr. H. W. Turner of the United 
States Geological Survey, at 10,000 feet, in Tuolumne County, 
July 1888; and by Mr. J. M. Hutchings on Mt. Conness in 1891. 
_ These last which are from the typical locality, show that Mr. 
Greene was either unfortunate in his specimens or careless in his 
statements. 
Diplacus arachnsideus,* parviflorus & grandiflorus Greene 
are forms of Mimulus glutinosus Wendl. 
Mimulus glaucescens,} arvensts, glareosus & nasutus{ Greene 
are forms of the polymorphous JZ. /uteus L. M. nasutus in 
typical form might be inaintained as a good variety if the forms 
connecting were not so numerous. 
Mimulus geniculatus § Greene is M. floribundus Dougl. 
Castilleia hololeuca Greene was erroneously described as 
having the calyx ‘‘ deeply cleft on the upper side, merely lobed 
on the lower.’’ The type shows it to be about equally cleft, and 
the species rests only on the slender basis of the pubescence, which 
is nearer C. Pringlei than C. foliolosa. 
Monardella discolor Greene is 4. villosa Benth, It is the 
same as Brandegee’s No. 235, of 1882, from the Yakima Region, 
Northern Transcontinental Survey. 
 Sphacele fragrans Greene is S. calycina vat. Wallacei Gray- 
Salvia Bernardina || Greene is probably, as Gray thought, a 
hybrid. 
Stachys acuminate % Greene was by the author redased 49S.
