Eastwoop: New SPECIES OF WESTERN PLANTS 493 
The type was collected by P. Beveridge Kennedy, of the 
University of Nevada, at Little Lakes Cafion, Western Stam- 
pede, Elko County, Nevada, July 1, 1902, being no. 546 of 
his collection, also no. 502 from the same locality, June 13, 
1902. 
’ Scutellaria linearifolia 
Stems about 1 dm. high, slender, simple or branching from 
the base with erect branches, purplish brown at base: leaves linear 
with the edges folded backwards, 1-2 cm. long, 1-2 mm. wide, 
tapering to a sessile or short-petioled base, obtuse at apex, mi- 
nutely and closely pubescent: flowers erect on filiform, spreading 
pedicels 5 mm. long, equal in length to the calyx: calyx with 
pubescence similar to that of the leaves, with shallow lobes and 
conspicuous crest: corolla 2.5 cm. long, the tube curving like the 
neck of a swan, throat moderately ampliate; upper lip 3-lobed, 
the middle lobe curved, the lateral lobes truncate, recurved ; lower 
lip erect, not spreading, hairy within: stamens with filaments 
curved at top; anthers ciliate, the two cells spreading from the 
top: fruiting calyx apparently nodding. 
This species is distinguished from S. axgustifolia Pursh, under 
which it was placed, by much narrower leaves and flowers of quite 
a different shape. The type was collected at San Diego, California, 
June, 1876, by W. J. Fisher, being no. 586 of his collection. 
This is the only specimen seen. 
’ Scutellaria Austinae 
Stems erect, with ascending branches from near the base and 
sometimes above, purplish at base, glabrous to puberulent, slender, 
1-2 dm. high: leaves erect, linear-oblong, entire (lowest spatulate), 
2-3 cm. long, 3 mm. wide, the upper sessile, the lower on short 
petioles, closely pubescent, with prominent midvein, obtuse or 
acute at apex, tapering at base, generally twice as long as the in- 
ternodes : flowers purple, erect, in the upper axils, 2-5 cm. long, 
on filiform pedicels as long as the calyx (3-4 mm.), erect-spread- 
ing: calyx minutely and closely pubescent, with shallow lobes 
and conspicuous crest tinged with purple: corolla purple, the tube 
slender; upper lip 3- lobed, with the lateral lobes folded back- 
wards, the middle lobe longest, galeate and truncate ; lower lip 
spreading, hairy in the throat: stamens exserted, with filaments 
curved under the anthers; these emarginate at apex and base, 
ciliate: nutlets unknown.
