590 Heller: Plants from Western North America 



Columbia specimen was presumably collected by Douglas, as it 

 was received from Hooker, and is labelled " Stacfiys ciliata — Fl. 

 Bor. Am." The Scoulcr specimen, no. 196, represented in the 

 Columbia herbarium, is unlike any other specimen that I have 

 sc<::\\^ but it was taken from a deformed plant, which may account 

 for tlie smaller and smoother calyx. Scouler's specimens are also 

 cited as part of the type. 



Staciivs Emersoni Piper, Erythea, 6:31. 1898 



Our 3902j collected at Montesano, Chehalis county, Wash- 

 mgton, during June, 1898, and distributed as S. ciliata^ is the re- 

 cently described .S". Emersoni, When the determination was made 

 I had not seen any specimens of Piper^s species, and was misled 

 by the imperfect specimen of Scouler, mentioned above. • ^. Enur- 

 spni is apparently common in that part of Washington adjacent to 

 Gray's Harbor, growing equally well in rich, shaded ground 

 along streams, and in higher and drier places. A fav^orite place 

 of growth about Montesano, was along fences and even in gardens 

 . and yards. 



Stachys Cooleyae 



r 

 f 



Height of plant unknown, but probably several decimeters: 

 stem sparingly retrorsely barbed below the inflorescence, the part 

 occupied by the inflorescence puberulent or glandular-hairy : leaves 

 distant, ovate-lanceolate, or the uppermost lanceolate, thin, light 

 g^reen, crenate-serrate, shortly acuminate, clothed on both sides 

 with short appresscd hairs which are not especially noticeable to 

 the naked eye, those below the inflorescence 12—15 cm. long, 4—6 

 cm. wide, with rounded or cordate base, and slender, scarcely mar- 

 gined petioles 1-2 cm. long ; floral leaves lanceolate, merely ser- 

 rate, sessile, much reduced, but never shorter than the calyx : 

 verticils remote, showing but slight tendency to approximation at 

 the summit, normally six-flowered : calyx purplish, about i cm. 

 long, moderately pubescent with spreading white hairs, the spread- 

 ing lobes slightly over 2 mm. in length, lanceolate,- tipped with a 

 slender cusp : corolla pubescent, rose-purple, 2.5 cm. long, its tube 

 twice the length of the calyx, lower lip broad and rounded, not 

 longer than the upper one. 



The type, preserved in the herbarium of Columbia University, 

 was collected by Grace E. Cooley, at Nanimo, Vancouver Island, 

 British Columbia, July 18, 1891. It was distributed as Stachys 

 ciliata var. pubcns^ but differs from 5. piibcns by being less pubcs-
