Pentstemon Rothrockii Gray. 



The low bushes of this Pentstemon were quite frequent in the 

 open forests from Tahquitz Valley to Fullers Ridge, occupying 

 the upi)er part of the Transition Zone, (Nos. 704, 2588.) 



The corolla is not glabrous, as described, but conspicuously 

 though sparsely pubescent externally and is of a dull yellow color 

 veined with purple, — never "reddish". 



Pentstemon spectabilis Tlmrh. 



This foot-hill species is very conspicuous on Chalk Hill and 

 elsewhere on the south and west sides but does not extend into 

 the pine forests. (No. 2069.) 



Pentstemon ternatus Torr. 



Climbing over bushes along the border between the Sonoran 

 and Transition zones in the vicinity of Strawberry Valley. (Nos. 

 335, 2G34.) 



Scrophularia Californica Cham.. Figwort. 



This is also supposed to be a Sonoran plant, but was found to 

 extend to the upper limits of the Transition Zone, where it was 

 observed at 8500 ft. alt. near Deer Springs. It is rare, however, 

 in the pine belt.
