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 thau the upper, with a white spot in the 

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

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

 long : 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 

 Colomas, July 20, 1897 (J. N. Rose, no. 1784). Ghiesbreght's 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-fiowered, 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
