 bracteis 4 majusculis rigidis foliaceis spinuloso-dentatis suffulti : an- 

 therae subtus villoso-barbataa) ilicifolia : annua, ramosa, spithamaea, 

 puberula ; foliis caulinis floralibusque ovato-spathulatis cuneato-oblon-

 apiculatis ; corolla (purpurea seu alba ?) calyce duplo longiori ; fila- 

 mentis valde inaequalibus brevibus fauci fere insertis; antheris subuni- 

 locularibus, staminum breviorum minoribus. — California, probably 

 Lower California, Major Rich ? in Herb. Torr. 



Salvia L. Dr. Torrey justly reduces Salviastrum of Scheele to 

 Salvia ; but it forms a capital section, for which Engelmann's proposed 

 name of Trichosphace (Bot. Zeit. 9, p. 45), would have been most 

 characteristic. 



Salvia (Salviastrum) Texana Torr. Bot. Mex. Bound, p. 132. 

 Salviastrum Texanum Scheele ; Torr. & Gray Pacif. R. R. 2, t. 6. — 

 Texas to New Mexico. 



Var. canescens : forma incana, foliis omnibus angusto-linearibus 

 marginibus valde revolutis, floribus paucioribus. — S. W. Texas and 

 Rio Grande on the Pecos. Wright (467), Schott. 



Salvia (Salviastrum) Engelmanni. Vix puberula cum pilis 

 setosis parcissimis ; foliis tenuioribus, floralibus plerumque flores pai'cos 

 adaaquantibus ; corolla (plus pollicari) tubo fauceque angustiore calyce 

 duplo longiori; caet. praacedentis. — W. Texas, Wright (465), Lind- 

 heimer. 



Salvia (Echinosphace) carduacea Benth., includes S. gossy-

 primary one when made to include Pycnosphace also, viz. 



Salvia (Echinosphace) Columbaria Benth. The median 

 tooth of the upper lip of the calyx apparently is always wanting in 

 this species ! 



Salvia (Heterosphace) Henrti. & R&meriance similis, gra- 

 cilior, pube nee molli ; foliis foliolisve minoribus vix cordatis angulato- 

 lobatis, floralibus inferioribus saepe conformibus, etiam summis pedi- 

 cillis aequilongis ; calyce hirsuto, fauce sinubusque ciliato-barbatis seu 

 villosis ; corolla (coccinea) angustiori, labiis brevioribus minus lobatis,
