bilabiate, 4 — 6 lines broad. — Mimulus mephiticas, Greene, 

 Bull. Cal. Acad. I. 9. 



Sierra Nevada, in the Yosemite region and northward. 

 Oar oldest specimens are those of Mrs. Austin, collected in 

 American Valley, 1877. It is manifestly common, and ap- 

 pears to have been referred to the next species, from which 

 it is very distinct. 



E. Tolmiaei, Benth. l c. 



Stout and branching from the base, 1 — 6 inches high : 

 leaves ovate to lanceolate: calyx-teeth broadly lanceolate, or 

 triangular, acute, one-fourth as long as the tube: corolla 

 rose-purple with yellow and dark purple in the throat; the 

 limb a half inch or more in breadth, obviously bilabiate: 

 capsule taper-pointed, far surpassing the calyx, the valves 

 chartaceous. — Mimulus nanus, Hook. & Arn. (the var. plu- 

 rijlorus) Bot. Beech. 378. Gray, 1. c. excluding the yellow 

 flowered plant which is the last. 



From Washington Ter. to Oregon; California and the 

 western parts of Nevada. 



E. bicolor, Gray.(?) 



Smaller and more slender than the last species: dark pur- 

 ple, throat of corolla abruptly and widely dilated; the white 

 limb very regular, and rotate-spreading. — M. nanus, var (?) 

 bicolor, Gray, Bot. Cal. I. 564. 



Our specimens have no ticket, but they can hardly be of 

 Prof. Brewer's collecting, and are not to be named with any 

 certainty as identical with the plant of Dr. Gray; although 

 they answer to the description of it, in all respects save the 

 color of the corolla-limb. Oar observations of living plants 

 convince us that such wide dissimilarity in shape of corolla, 

 as exists between this and E. Tolmicei, are not to be treated 

 as merely varietal. 



E. Fremonti. Beuth. 



Pubescence and viscosity of E. Bigelovii: leaves narrowly 

 oblong, obtuse: calyx-teeth short-ovate, obtuse: capsule
