Eastwoop: SOME NEW SPECIES OF CALIFORNIAN PLants 81 
equalling or a little shorter than the blades, broad, flat, nerved, 
densely ciliate, clasping the stem and forming conspicuous nodes: 
spike leafy at base, about 15 cm. long, the leaves diminishing to 
linear-oblong bracts; peduncles densely glandular-villous; ver- 
ticels 1-3 cm. apart, generally 4-flowered: calyx villous-pubes- 
cent and glandular, obliquely 2-lipped on pedicels, 1.5 mm. long ; 
divisions deltoid, aristate, 3-nerved, about g mm. long, the two 
lower divisions somewhat shorter than the three upper, all shorter 
than the campanulate tube : corolla rose-color ; tube 2 cm. long, 
villous-arachnoid ; upper lip glandular-villous, rounded or truncate, 
about half as long as the lower lip; lower lip 3-lobed, the middle 
lobe hooded, surpassing the auriculate lateral lobes and hoary 
within: stamens inserted on the throat; filaments flattened, 
bearded, not exserted : divisions of the stigma equal ; styles shorter 
than the filaments: nutlets immature. 
This is nearest to Stachys Chamissonts F. & M, (Linnaea, Suppl., 
6: 80), of which it might be considered a variety. The flaccid 
foliage and smaller flowers are more suggestive of S. ce/zata but 
the leaves are not acuminate as in that species. It appears to be 
an intermediate form for which at present a specific name seems 
better than a varietal, applied to either species. The type locality 
of S. Chamissonis is not given but it was collected by Cham- 
isso and probably some’ place not far from San Francisco. Com- 
pared with specimens collected at Lake Merced near San Francisco 
this differs, besides in regard to the characteristics mentioned above, 
in having longer petioles and much more scanty pubescence. 
This was collected by H. E. Brown near Mendocino, California, — 
May, 1898. It is no, 836 of his collection. Type in the her- 
barium of the California Academy of Sciences.
