cles ; lower bracts leaf-like, the upper green on both sides, ovate, 
clasping by a cordate base, acute, 2-10 mm. long: flowering calyx 
campanulate, rounded at base, 12-15 mm. long, with deltoid divi- 
sions less than 5 mm. long, sharply acute, hispid and glandular ; 
fruiting calyx becoming more than twice as large, chartaceous and 
very veiny : corolla tinged with violet, 2.5 cm. long, the tube gradu- 
ally enlarging from 2 mm. at base to 8 mm. at throat; upper lip 
I cm. wide, 6 mm. long; lower lip of 4 broad nearly equal lobes, 
5 mm. wide, 3 mm. long: anthers obtuse, deeply sagittate, con- 
nected to the filament near the top, the body brown with the cells 
white ; nutlets black-brown, globular, sparsely hispid. 
This was collected by the author July 10, 1902, along the 
road on the hills not far from Pozo, onthe road to La Panza, in San 
Luis Obispo County, California. The shrubs grew near a spring 
and were seen in only one place, though they were quite abundant 
and attracted attention at once from the difference in appearance 
to the other species. Compared with S. calycina Benth., the 
common species and that which it most resembles in general ap- 
pearance, the leaves are dissimilar in shape and the flowers are 
quite unlike. In S. calycina the calyx is cuneate at base, in this 
obtuse ; the corolla of this is only about half as broad as in the 
other and quite different in shape; the divisions of the calyx are 
shorter and less pointed. 
This species is named in honor of my friend Mrs. Ida M. 
Blochman, whose kindness enabled me to collect the plants of this 
region and who has done much to make known the plants of the 
country around Santa Maria, California. 
vMonardella tomentosa 
Stems several from a suffrutescent base, slender, hairy-tomen- 
tulose, 3 dm. high: leaves ovate-lanceolate, about 2.5 cm. long, 
I cm. wide, somewhat obliquely cuneate at base, obtuse at apex, 
more densely tomentose on the lower than the upper surface, 
principal veins evident; petioles 5 mm. long, becoming shorter 
towards the inflorescence: flowers capitate in a single terminal 
ciuster, or with a few smaller heads in the upper axils subtended 
by 1-2 pairs of leaves as well as the involucral bracts ; these ovate, 
I cm. long, tomentose and veiny but not membranous : calyX 
tubular, 8 mm. long, tapering at base, broadest near the middle, 
with 11 ribs, 5 subulate teeth 2 mm. long, tomentose throughout : 
corolla deep lilac, hairy, with the tube exserted 4 mm., the divi-
