FERNALD. — MEXICAN PLANTS. 563 



short-acuminate, coarsely crenate above the rounded or truncate base, 2 

 to 5 cm. long, 2 to 3.5 cm. wide: flowers solitary in the axils, on slightly 

 pilose pedicels 0.5 cm. long : calyx pilose in lines, in anthesis 4 to 5 mm. 

 long : corolla dark blue, arcuate, 2 to 2.5 cm. long, puberulent without ; 

 the lower lip slightly longer than the upper, with a white spot in the 

 middle. — Jalisco, in the Sierra Madre, west of Bolaiios, Sept. 15-17, 

 1897 (J. N. Rose, no. 2951). Related to the northern S. galericidata, L. 



S. Rosei. Apparently tall (upper portions of plants at hand 6 to 

 7 dm. high) : stem short cinereous-pubescent : lower leaves suborbicular, 

 rounded at tip, upper ovate, acuminate, coarsely crenate-dentate, rounded 

 or subcordate at base, minutely soft-pubescent on both sides, 4 to 6 cm. 

 long, 3 to 4 cm. wide, on very short pubescent petioles 1 to 3 mm. 

 Ions: : raceme elongated, 2 to 2.5 dm. or more in length : the flowers 

 irregularly scattered, alternate, opposite or fascicled : bracts lanceolate, 

 about equalling the glandular-hirsute pedicels : calyx somewhat glandu- 

 lar-hirsute, in anthesis 3 to 4 mm. long : corolla 2 to 2.5 cm. long, 

 rose-purple above ; the pubescent tube pale ; the lower lip somewhat 

 exceeding the upper. — Sinaloa, foothills of the Sierra Madre, near 

 Coloraas, July 20, 1897 (/. N. Rose, no. 1784). Ghiesbreghfs nos. 88 

 and 803 from Chiapas are probably forms of the species, though with 

 smaller corollas. 



S. Pedicularis. Stems slender, minutely cinereous-puberulent : 

 leaves oblong or ovate-oblong, coarsely crenate-dentate, short-acuminate 

 and blunt at tip, rounded or subtruncate at base, sparsely pubescent 

 above with short appressed hairs, glabrous beneath, 2 to 3.5 cm. long, 

 1 to 2 cm. wide, on slender finely-puberulent petioles 1.5 to 2 cm. long : 

 raceme 15-25-flowered, at first dense, resembling Pedicularis canadensis : 

 bracts linear or lanceolate, equalling the pedicels (3 to 5 mm. long) : 

 calyx puberulous, in anthesis 3 to 3.5 mm. long, in fruit becoming 8 to 

 9 mm. long: corolla yellowish, 2.5 cm. long, the tube barely 2 mm. in 

 diameter nearly to the slightly broader throat ; lower lip a little longer 

 than the upper : seeds roughish, not margined. — Chiapas, near Tum- 

 bala, alt. 1,230 to 1,700 m., Oct. 20, 1895 {E. W. Nelson, no. 3342). 

 The specimens are rather fragmentary, so that the base of the plant can- 

 not now be described. Nearly related to the showy S. Mociniana, 

 Benth., which has much longer scarlet corollas. 



Stachys (Stachyotypus) flaccida. Ascending or spreading, freely 

 branched, 4 dm. high or more (?) : stems minutely pilose or glabrate ; 

 internodes 1 dm. long: leaves thin and flaccid, glabrous or minutely 

 appressed-pubescent beneath, the lower on slender petioles, the upper
