low, subequallj 5-lobed, the lower lobe pubescent, the tube about half longer 
than the calyx. — Growing in the mud, and stems often rooting, 3-12' long ; 
leaves and corolla 6-9" long ; diffusing a strong musky odor. Wash- 
ington Territory to Northern California. East Humboldt Mountains, Nevada, 
and in the Wahsatch ; 7-8,500 feet altitude ; June-August. (795.) 
MiMULUS PILOSUS. (Herjws/is, Benth. DC. Prod/: 10. 394.) Annual, 
erect, 2-10' high, branched from base, viscid and very softly pilose ; leaves 
1- 2' long, sessile, oblong or lanceolate, acutish, mostly entire ; peduncles a 
little exceeding the calyx but becoming elongated, shorter than the leaves ; 
corolla yellow, 3" long, scarcely exceeding the calyx, broadly tubular, slightly 
dilated above, the upper lip more or less 2-lobed, the lower with two purple 
spots at base ; capsule 2i" long, ovate-oblong, acute, subsuteate above, the 
valves usually entire. — Calyx unequally 5-toothcd, angular, enlarging some- 
what in fruit. The ajiparent continuation of the sinuses in a membranous 
line to the base may probably account for the reference of this plant to Her- 
pestis, where it has formed the section Mimuloides. The divaricate anther- 
cells are oblong, instead of linear as described, and the dilated apex of the 
style is sul^orbicular and apparently entire. Northern California. Collected 
in Truckee River bottom ; July. (796.)

branched ; leaves 2-6" long, obovate or spatulate, narrowly oldong or lanceo- 
late or linear, 3-5-nerved, mostly entire, sessile and narrowed at base or the 
lower shortly petioled, about equahng the peduncles ; calyx oblong, 1-2" in 
length, becoming somewhat dilated, the mouth squarely truncate with sliort 
equal teeth ; corolla yellow, red, or purple, small and scarcely exserted, or 
2- 3 times longer than the calyx and the liml) dilated. — A quite variable spe- 
* cies, including M. moniioides, Gray. The extremes of form are connerfed l>y 
intermediate grades; as in 31. glutinosus and Eunanm Fn'mohti, ('(.lolhi 
may be either red or yellow, and even in tlie ydlow-tlowered variety tiw; 
calyx and oflen the whole phint is more or less jxirjdish. New Mexico and
