2. Mimulus alatus Ait. 



. Mimulus alatus Ait., Hort. Kew. 2: 361. 1789. "Nat. of North America. 

 Introd. 1783, by Mr. William Malcolm." Type not verified, but descrip- 

 tion sufficiently distinctive. 



Corolla pinkish-lavender, within throat essentially as in M. ringens 

 but the spots are .smaller and the color fainter. Flowering from July 

 to August and probably ripening fruit in September and Octobar. 



Wet woods and shaded river -bottoms, loam soil, hills of eastern 

 Oklahoma, perhaps near the Red River in Louisiana. Ranges 

 from Connecticut to Ontario and Kansas, south to Florida, Miss- 

 issippi and Oklahoma.

3. Mimulus ringens L. 



Mimulus ringens L., Sp. PI. 634. 1753. "Habitat in Virginia, Canada, 

 . . . Hort. ups. 176 t. 2." In Hortus Upsalensis 176, pi. 1. 1748. 

 Linne described and figured our plant. 



Mimulus pteropus Raf., Fl. Ludov. 44. 1817. "M. alatus Rob. pi. 396." 

 This reference is to C. C. Robin, Voy. Louisiane 3: 396, 1807, in which is 

 given a fuller description. The leaves sessile and semi-amplexicaul are 

 distinctive. Probably from the present state of Louisiana. 



I know of no other record than Robin's of the occurrence of this 



species in the West Gulf States. But from its wide general range. 



Nova Scotia to Minnesota south to Florida and Kansas, it should 



be expected in Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma. 



13. VERBASCUM Linne. 

 Verbascum L., Sp. PI. 177. 1753. 

 Type species, V. thapstis L., of Europe.
