 and along the veins sparsely hispid-pilose with short several-celled conical 

 mostly eglandular hairs, the upper lip entire, 4 mm. long, its short abrupt 

 acumination about 1 mm. long, the lower lip 2-lobed, 2.5 to 3 mm. long, 

 the lobes deltoid-ovate, abruptly short-pointed; corolla crimson, 2.5 cm. 

 long, pilose toward apex with several-celled hairs, the tube 5 mm. long, 

 the ventricose throat 16 mm. long, the upper lip porrect, 4.5 mm. long, 

 the lower lip rather shorter, spreading, with small lateral lobes; style 

 equalling corolla, short-hispid-pilose toward apex; staminodes clavate-

Type in the U. S. National Herbarium, no. 862664, collected on the 

 Volcan de Agua, above Santa Maria de Jesus, Guatemala, March 7, 

 1916, by E. W. D. Holway (no. 579). 



Salvia holwayi is a member of the series Fulgentes and most nearly 

 related to 5. adenophora Fernald, which has the stem and calyx densely 

 pilose with gland-tipped hairs. 



Salvia popenoei Blake, sp. nov. 



Herb up to 2.6 meters high, apparently little branched, the base not 

 seen; stem quadrangular, 3 mm. thick, glabrous below the inflorescence; 

 leaves opposite, much shorter than the internodes ; petioles slender, sparsely

 ring; blades ovate, 5 to 6.5 cm. long, 2.5 to 4 cm. wide, with acuminate 

 entire tip, at base broadly rounded or subcordate, serrate with about 10 

 pairs of depressed mucronulate teeth, firm-herbaceous, above green or 

 brownish green, glabrous except for sessile glands, beneath much paler 

 green, punctate, glabrous, reticulate-veined, but only the costa and primary 

 nerves prominulous; racemes terminal, simple, on a peduncle 1.8 to 3.2 

 cm. long, densely stipitate-glandular and sparsely short-hispid-pilose 

 with white gland-tipped one-celled hairs; verticels 1.5 to 2.5 cm. distant, 

 4 to 10-flowered; bracts deciduous, not seen, those of the lowest whorl 

 sometimes ovate, foliaceous, 12 mm. long; pedicels 4 to 6 mm. long; 

 calyx tubular-campanulate, in anthesis 12 to 15 mm. long, densely stipitate- 

 glandular and sparsely hispid-pilose on the nerves with short conical 

 rarely gland-tipped white hairs, dull green, 15-nerved, the upper lip ascend- 

 ing, about 8 mm. long, entire, attenuate with almost cirrhiform bent tip, 

 the lower lip 2-lobed, about 6 mm. long, the lobes subulate-attenuate 

 from an ovate base; corolla "crimson-scarlet," 2.3 to 2.9 cm. long, glandular- 

 pilose on the upper lip, otherwise glabrous, the tube about 6 mm. long, 

 the ventricose throat about 1.8 cm. long, the upper lip porrect, 5 mm. long, 

 the lower shorter, spreading, with small rounded lateral lobes; style barely 

 exserted, sparsely pilose near apex.
