3. Four New Species. 



Lagophylla serrata. Minutely hirsute-puberulent, with 

 a few minute, stalked glands on the involucre, otherwise 

 glandless: 1 — 3 feet high, the stem simple below, often 

 paniculately branched above: stem-leaves 1 — 3 inches long, 

 spatulate-oblong, with remote but distinct serratures: rays 

 bright yellow, a half inch long. 



Abundant at lower altitudes of the Sierra Nevada, in the 

 central part of the State. Collected at Grass Valley in 1882, 

 by Miss Doom, and in El Dorado County in 1884, by Mrs. 

 Curran. A really showy species of Lagophylla, the heads, 

 with expanded rays, measuring an inch across. The species 

 will stand next to L. glandulosa; but that has smaller leaves, 

 their margins entire and revolute, their surface dotted with 

 conspicuous, sessile glands; the whole herbage is strongly 

 pubescent, and the plant is bushy, with decumbent, basal 

 branches. 



MiMULUS (Simiolus) geniculates. Annual, sparingly vil- 

 lous or glabrate, not at all mucilaginous: branches a span 

 to a foot long, diffusely spreading, strongly geniculate: leaves 

 ovate, acute, J— 1 inch long, prominently nerved and toothed, 

 on petioles 3— 5 lines long: pedicels surpassing the leaves: 

 fructiferous calyx oblong, 4 lines long, the teeth equal, tri- 

 angular, acute: corolla a half inch long, with spreading, 

 subregular, yellow limb, and reddish or copper-colored 

 throat. 



Tehachapi, Kern County, California, 1884; Mrs. Curran. 



On page 118 of this volume I have confounded this plant 

 with M. fioribundus, Dougl. That species is always very 

 villous and slimy, and has pale yellow corollas of less than 

 half the size of those of this species and the next one, which 

 I had also mixed with 31. floribwndus, but in deference to 

 very eminent authorities.
