strengthen the species by remarks concerning diflferences of 

 climate, but unaccountably omits to mention the fact that the 

 flanks of Mt. St. Helena and of the Coast Range north of San 

 Francisco generally, are notoriously foggy in summer, and there- 

 fore not the parched region his language would infer. Pentste- 

 mon Davidsonii is the Alpine form of the species. It was 

 collected by Dr. Gustav Eisen on high mountains at the head of 

 King's River in 1885; by Mr. H. W. Turner of the United 

 States Geological Survey, at 10,000 feet, in Tuolumne County, 

 July 1888; and by Mr. J. M. Hutchings on Mt. Conness in 1891. 

 These last which are from the typical locality, show that Mr. 

 Greene was either unfortunate in his specimens or careless in his 

 statements. 



Diplacus arachrioideus,^ parviflorus & grandifloriis Greene 

 are forms oi Mimidiis glutinosiis Wendl. 



Mimulus glaiicescens,\ arvensis, glareosus & nasittusX Greene 

 are forms of the polymorphous M. hcteics ly. M. nasutus in 

 typical form might be maintained as a good variety if the forms 

 connecting were not so numerous. 



MiuiiUiLs genicidatus § Greene is M. fioribundiis Dougl. 



Castilleia Jwloleicca Greene was erroneously described as 

 having the calyx "deeply cleft on the upper side, merely lobed 

 on the lower." The type shows it to be about equally cleft, and 

 the species rests only on the slender basis of the pubescence, which 

 is nearer C. Pringlei than C foliolosa. 



Monardella discolor Greene is M. villosa Benth. It is the 

 same as Brandegee's No. 235, of 1882, from the Yakima Region, 

 Northern Transcontinental Survey. 



Sphacele fragrans Greene is 6". calycina var. Wallacei Gray. 



Salvia Bernardiyia \ Greene is probably, as Gray thought, a 

 hybrid. 



Stachys acuminata ^ Greene was by the author reduced to .S*.
