discovered by those now collecting every year in the " Ore- 

 gon " regions. 



M. Roezli, Kegel. 



Quoted by Dr. Gray under 31. luteus. It is not known to 

 me. I suppose it to be a North American species, and a 

 synonym of 31. guttatus, but this is only a guess. 



ORTHOCARPUS. 

 0. Beldingi. 



Annual, erect and rather slender, a span high and sparing- 

 ly branched, hirsute and above very minutely glandular: 

 leaves linear and entire, or with a few long lobes: calyx 

 about equally 4-cleft. the divisions narrowly lanceolate: 

 corolla rose color, a half inch long; the lips not dissimilar; 

 the upper one cleft, and the lower not saccate, but having 

 three triangular, spreading lobes: capsule sharply pointed : 

 seed very small, with a close but transparent favose coat. 



Collected on Victoria Mountains, Lower California, June, 

 1883, by Mr. L. Belding. 



Most divergent from our other Orthocarpi in respect to its 

 corolla, but in aspect quite like some species of the Tripky- 

 saria section. 



ANTIRRHINUM. 

 A. strictum, Gray. 



The A. Kelloggu, Greene, Bull. Torr. Club. X. 126, is 

 clearly only a synonym. The ticket, giving as the habitat 

 "Sierra Nevada, near snow, growing in dense patches," was 

 doubtless a mistake. Good specimens of true A. strictum 

 lately obtained call for this correction. 



PLANTAGO. 

 P. Californica. 



Annual, 2 — 5 inches high, minutely hirsute : leaves linear- 

 lanceolate with a few large and prominent teeth, or nearly 

 entire: scapes numerous: spikes an inch or more long, and 

 rather thin: stamens two: capsule ovoid, 10 — 12-seeded, cir- 

 cumscissile very near the base.
