FERNALD. — NEW SPERMATOPHYTES FROM MEXICO. 67 



demum 2 cm. distantibus ; pedicellis gracilibus glanduloso-pruinosis 

 1.5 usque ad 7 mm. longis ; calyce purpureo-tincto tubiformi anthesi 

 7-8 mm. fructifero 1 cm. lougo, tubo basi valde costato pruinoso, fau- 

 cibus paulo dilatatis levius costatis glabratis, labiis aristato-acumiiiatis 

 3-4 mm. longis inferiore bifido recto superiore sursum curvato ; corolla 

 rubro-purpurea 2.2-2.6 cm. longa, tubo et faucibus anguste cylindricis 

 sursum curvatis 1.5-1.7 cm. longis 2-3 mm. diametro, labiis approxi- 

 matis, galea dense pilosa labium inferius aequanti ; stylo barbato. — 

 Wet barranca below Trinidad Iron Works, Hidalgo, Mexico, alt. 

 1680 m., 22 August, 1904, G. G. Fringle, no. 8927 (type, in bb. Gray). 

 Strongly suggesting S. Martendi Gal., which, however, has the ventri- 

 cose corolla-tube of the Cyaneae. From that species, S. simulans, 

 which has the cylindric corolla-tube of the Tiibijlorae, is further dis- 

 tinguished by its rounded-cuneate leaf-bases, and especially by the 

 elongate galea. 



Castilleja Conzattii Fernald, n. sp., suffruticosa; caulibus sim- 

 plicibus erectis glanduloso-puberulis ; foliis linearibus vel lineari-lance- 

 olatis 3-5-nerviis 2-7 cm. longis dense puberulis, inferioribus integris, 

 superioribus pectinatis, laciniis linearibus patentibus ; bracteis oblongis 

 1.5-2.5 cm. longis, summis coccineis trifidis, lobis lateralibus linearibus 

 vel spatulatis, intermedio majore anguste obovato integro vel obsolete 

 trilobo ; pedicellis 1 mm. longis ; calyce mediam tantum corollam pau- 

 lulo superante 1.5-1.8 cm. longo viridi et albo, antice et postice aequa- 

 liter fisso, lobis oblongis subtruncatis 6-6 mm. longis ; corolla viridi 

 et rubella 2.2-2.5 cm. longa, tubo 1.2-1.3 cm. longo, galea elongata, 

 labii lobis obtusis 1 mm. longis. — ■ Sta. Ines del Monte, Zimatlan, 

 Oaxaca, Mexico, alt. 820 m., 8-9 December, 1905, C. Conzafti, no. 1360 

 (type, in hb. Gray). Nearest related, apparently, to the variable C. an- 

 gustifoUa (Nutt.) Don, of the northwestern United States, from which 

 it differs chiefly in the broad middle lobe of the bracts. 



Ruellia (Ophthalmacanthus) Pringlei Fernald, n. sp., fruticosa ; 

 ramis gracilibus flexuosis subteretibus glanduloso-villosis cinereis ; 

 foliis ovatis 3-10 cm. longis 1.5-4.3 cm. latis tenuibus utrinque mol- 

 liter pubescentibus basi cuneatis apice longe attenuatis ; petiolis gra- 

 cilibus sublanatis 1.5-3.5 cm. longis; pedunculis 1.5-3 cm. longis 

 cinereo-pubescentibus uniiloris ; bracteis lineari-spatulatis acutis 2.5-5 

 cm. longis ; calyce 3-4 cm. longo, laciniis lineari-lanceolatis 2.3-3 cm. 

 longis ciliatis ; corolla alba 7-8 cm. longa anguste infundibuliformi 

 valde exserta, limbi 5-6 cm. lati lobis breviter oblongis vel siiborbicu- 

 laribus retusis ; capsula immatura angusta 2.5-3 cm. longa 7 mm. 

 crassa glabra. — Hillsides, Balsas Station, Guerrero, Mexico, alt. 610 m.,
