.ions remote, the ultimate lobes linear-subulate, acute: inflo- 

 rescence depressed-capitate, becoming spicate in fruit: 

 bracts setaceous- attenuate, shorter than the calyx: calyx- 

 teeth equal, subulate-setaceous: corolla small, pale lilac, 

 very fragrant: nutlets small, light broAvn, nearly smooth, 

 retrorsely hispidulous on the commissure. 



Cedros Island, May 1, 1885. Common in gravelly arroyos 

 not far from the shore. 



Monardella thymifolia. 



Shrubby, much branched, a foot high, soft-pubescent: 

 leaves ovate, entire, 2 — 4 lines long, on petioles of less than 

 a line: heads small, 15 — 25-hWered : bracts herbaceous, 

 ovate, rather acute, parallel-veined, their margins hirsute-
