Maximowiczia insularis sp. nov. 



Scabra : caiilibiis brevibus glabris ca. 1 ni. lougis : foliis profunde 

 lobatis, lobis lobatis lobulatis vel deutatis, utrinque setiilosis ; petiolis 

 glabris ca. 2 em. longis ; Horibus masculis racemosis ; calycis dentibus 

 triaugiilaribus acutis; petalis obloiigis obtusis extus intusque piibes- 

 centibus : fructibus ovalibus ca. 2 cm. longis quando maturis coccineis. 

 Flores femiiiei desiint. 



This proposed species has short stems and scabrous leaves. M. 

 sonorae Watson as it grows in the Cape Region has stems 10 feet or 

 more long climbing among bushes and the leaves are generally glabrous 

 with a bluish tinge. M. insularis usually has a large root projecting 

 from the ground nearly a foot, from the top of which the short stems 

 hang, and when the scarlet fruit is mature becomes a handsome sight. 

 The seeds are similar to those of M. sonorae. Collected by T. S. 

 Brandegee, January 15, 1889, on Magdalena and Santa Margarita 

 Islands, Baja California. Type, Herb. Univ. Calif. No. 102050. 



Orobanche multicaulis 



sp. nov. 



Multicaulis puberula parum viscosa laxiflora : caulibus ca. 2.5 dm. 

 altis ; bracteis ovato-acuminatis ca. 5 mm. longis : infloresceutia spicata ; 

 pedicellis inferioribus ca. 2.5 cm. longis, superioribus brevibus, medio 

 vel sub calyce bibracteatis ; calyce in lobos lanceolatos 5-partiti ca. 

 7 mm. longos : corolla ca. 2 cm. longa curvata, labio superiori bilobo, 

 inferiori trilobo, lobis ovatis ; filamentis filiformibus glabris, antheris 

 glabris ; stigmate bilobo, capsula quam calyce breviori. 



The bilobed stigma separates this species from 0. Cooperi Gray 

 and other Californian species having crateriform or disciform stigmas. 

 Collected by myself near Purisima in 1889, growing among loose 

 rock ; also at Calmalli by Dr. C. A. Purpus, both localities in Baja 

 California. Type, Herb. Univ. Calif. No. 172754.
