FERNALD. — NEW SPERMATOPHYTES FROM MEXICO. 68 



nuculis subglobosis 1.3 mm. altis albidis adpresse setulosis. — Lime- 

 stone cliffs, Iguala Canon, Guerrero, Mexico, alt. 760 m., 28 September, 

 1905, C. G. Pringle, no. 10,062 (type, in hb. Gray). Not closely re- 

 lated to other Mexican species, perhaps nearest H. coriaceum Lehm., 

 which is much coarser, densely villous, with broader rugose villous 

 leaves and larger flowers and fruits. 



Salvia hispanica L., var. chionocalyx Fernald, n. var., foliis brac- 

 teisque supra viridibus et minute pubescentibus subtus paulo pallidi- 

 oribus et praesertim in nerviis breviter pilosis ; spicis pertenuibus 5- 

 10 cm. longis 1-1.5 cm. crassis ; floribus adpresse ascendentibus ; 

 calycibus conspicue denseque albo-pubescentibus. — Fields, Uruapan, 

 Michoacan, Mexico, 16 October, 1904, C. G- Pringle, no. 8837^ (type, 

 in hb. Gray). A striking extreme of *S'. hispanica, the typical form of 

 which differs in its ordinarily thicker spikes of less appressed cinereous 

 calyces. 



Salvia hispanica L., var. intonsa Fernald, n. var., foliis et parti- 

 bus superioribus caulis tomentosis : spicis brevibus crassis 1.5-5..") cm. 

 longis 1.5-2 cm. crassis; calycibus tomentosis patontibus. --Buena 

 Vista, Department of Santa Rosa, Guatemala, alt. 1 680 m., December, 

 1892, Heyde & Lux, no. 4401, in exsicc J. D. Smith. Differing from 

 8. hispanica in the dense tomentum of its leaves, stems, and calyces. 



v Salvia (Vulgares) mucidiflora Fernald, n. sp., herbacea (1) alta ; 

 caule cinereo-pulverulento obtuse angulato faciebus profunde sulcato; 

 foliis rhomboideo-ovatis 3.5-10 cm. longis crenato-serratis subtus albidis 

 et tomento brevi densoque obtectis supra griseo-viridibus cum pilis brevi- 

 bus albis, basi cuneato integro in petiolum puberulum gradatim angus- 

 tato ; ramis brevibus patentibus ; racemis laxis 3.5-10 cm. longis ; rhachi 

 et pedicellis et etiam calyce dense albovillosis paene lanatis ; verticellis 

 3-6-floris subdistantibus ; bracteis late ovatis mucronatis 4-7 mm. 

 longis subpersistentibus laxe albo-villosis ; pedicellis 1-3 mm. longis ; 

 calyce anguste campanulato anthesi 7 mm. fructifero 8-9 mm. longo, 

 labio superiore acuminato ascendenti, inferiore rectiusculo cum lobis 2 

 deltoideis aristatis ; corolla azurea et alba 13-14 mm. longa, labio su- 

 periore villoso oblongo 6 mm. longo, inferiore violaceo paten ti paulo 

 longiore ; stylo villoso. — San Ram5n, Durango, Mexico, 21 April-18 

 May, 1906, Echc. Palmer, no. 18V (type, in hb. Gray). Nearest related 

 to 8. hngispicata Mart. & Gal. but differing in its crenate-serrate 

 leaves and the long pubescence of the inflorescence. 



• Salvia (Vulgares) arthrocoma Fernald, n. sp., caulibus supcrne 

 pilosis, pilis pallidis nodulosis ; foliis rhomboideo-ovatis 4-8 cm. longis 

 supra basin cuneatam crenato-serratis apice acuminatis supra pilis 

 compressis adpresse setulosis et in venis pilis gracilibus nodulosis mu-
