& Engelmann, Greene, Franceschi); Santa Catalina Island 
(Franceschi). 
Usually only one or two flowers of each cyme are de- 
veloped and thus the whorls become 2-4 flowered, a 
remarkable feature which occurs but accidentally in other 
species of this subgenus. 
var. denudata, var. nov. 
Branchlets glabrous, tinged purple; leaves glabrous or 
nearly so, oval or obovate to elliptic, 1.5-2 cm. long, 
obtuse, gradually or abruptly narrowed into a short petiole, 
coriaceous, dark yellowish-green above, pale beneath; 
inflorescence including the corolla more or less pubescent. 
California: San Diego (Thurber, no. 558, May, 1852, 
D. Cleveland, 1874, Palmer, no. 120, 1875, Orcutt, June 
20, 1884). Lower California, Santo Thomas hills (Orcutt, 
May 17, 1886). 
From the type this form is easily distinguished by the 
glabrous foliage; and from JL. subspicata by the leaves 
being all distinct and by the pubescent inflorescence.

but very rarely, with all the leaves distinct; certain forms 
combining these characters have been confounded with the
