yellow, the tube very narrow and much exceeding the calyx, 

 the limb ample and broad. 



Collected on Cloud's Rest, Yosemite, June, 1883, by that 

 jealous guardian of Yosemite, Mr. J. M. Hutchings; also, 

 perhaps, by others who may have referred it to 31. nanus, 

 from which it differs in the shape of the calyx-teeth, the 

 form and color of the corolla, and the very offensive, skunky 

 odor which is exhaled by the glandular herbage. 



Mimulus moniliformis. 



Near 31. moschatus, wholly scentless, villous but scarcely 

 viscid, 3 — 8 inches high from a perennial root, with subterra- 

 nean shoots bearing moniliform strings of small tubers: 

 leaves oblong-ovate, an inch long, on short petioles: calyx- 

 teeth short and nearly equal : corolla an inch long, the tube 

 with a pair of conspicuous folds beneath on the outside; the 

 limb only slightly irregular, yellow, often with a copper-col- 

 ored center: seeds broadly ovate, reddish without obvious 

 markings. 



Common in the higher Sierras, often collected and here- 

 tofore referred to 31. moschatus, from which it is very dis- 

 tinct. It grows among rocks on dry ground; not in wet 

 places. 



Polemonium pectinatum. 



Inflorescene rather densely viscid-pubescent, the stem and 

 leaves glabrous; stems clustered, a foot or more high, slen- 

 der, leaf}^ to the summit; leaflets linear, filiform, an inch 

 long, in about five pairs; flowers corymbose-cymose; calyx 

 cleft beyond the middle, corolla a half inch broad, white or 

 cream-colored, seeds wingless. Collected in the eastern 

 part of Washington Territory, in June, 1882, by Prof. E. W. 

 Hilgard. 



A species related to P. foliosissimum, Gray, of the Col- 

 orado Mountains, or still nearer P.flavum, Greene of New 

 Mexico. 



Gilia hetorodoxa. 



Near G. viscidula, but slender and more branching, and
