^ Calamintha Palmeri. Sect. Acinos : odore et facie ffedeomce, an- 

 nua, a basi ramosa, spithamasa, pube molli ; foliis obovatis vel spathulato- 

 obloiigis in petiolum attenuatis integerrimis, floralibus decrescentibus 

 conformibus ; bracteis minimis subulatis ; verticillastris 6-9-floris, sujdc- 

 rioribus folia floralia requantibus ; calyce parce hirsuto basi vix gibboso, 

 fauce villosissima, labiis tiibo brevioribus, superiore latiore fructifero 

 recurvo patente ; corolla purpurea calyce vix duplo longiore, tubo in- 

 cluso ; antherfe loculis parallelis, connectivo baud incrassato. — Guada- 

 lupe Island, Lower California. " Common in the interior of the island, 

 not cropped by the goats," Dr. Palmer. Flower only 3 lines long ; 

 pedicels a line or so in length. Calyx shorter than in G. Acinos, in 

 fruit less declined or ascending. Except for the four fertile stamens 

 this plant would be referred to Hedeoma. The stamens are too straight 

 and distant for a Calamintha, but apparently it may be referred to that 

 polymorphous genus. 



PoGOGYNE TENUiFLORA. Glabriuscula, 2-4-ponicaris ; ramis (dum 

 adsunt) corymbosis ; foliis spathulatis vel obovatis basi petioloque ciliis 

 setiformibus perpaucis instructis ; bracteis nudis ; calycis puberuli lobis 

 inaequalibus lineari-lanceolatis corollce tubo filiformi dimidio brevioribus ; 

 filamentis sterilibus parvulis glandula capitellatis. — Guadalupe Island, 

 oif Lower California, Dr. E. Palmer. Corolla nearly half an inch 

 long. 



Scutellaria nana. Stolonibus filiformibus moniliformi-tuberiferis 

 perennans, depressa, cinei'eo-jjuberula, foliosa ; foliis obovatis ovatisve 

 obtusissimis (semipollicaribus) integerrimis brevi-petiolatis flores 

 brevissime pedicellatos a^quantibus ; corolla alba (semipoUicari sat 

 lata), labiis brevibus Eequilongis. — N. TV. Nevada, in Winnemucca 

 Valley, near Pyramid Lake, J. G. Lemmon. 



MoNARDELLA. Benth. A study of some new materials, and a revi- 

 sion of the species for the Botany of California (to which they all 

 belong), bring to view eleven species, which may be disposed as here 

 subjoined.*
