 blades round-ovate, crenate, glandular-punctate (especially on the under surface) 

 or glabrous, % to 1 inch long, on petioles 1 to 3 lines long ; calyx and corolla ex- 

 teriorly short-hairy; calyx about equally 5-toothed, the short teeth erect; corolla 

 4 to 5 lines long, the upper lip notched or shortly cleft, the lower lip deeply 3-lobed, 

 all the lobes obtuse. 



Shady woods, 10 to 2500 feet, common : along the coast from Los Angeles Co. 

 to Humboldt Co. North to Idaho and British Columbia. May- Aug. 



Field note. — In favorable situations the trailing stems take root at the tip and thus reproduce 

 the plant vegetatively ; the root-«rown also gives rise to stolons which strike roots at intervals. 

 The foliage is evergreen ; by December it has become spicy-fragrant. Mountaineers on the trails 

 in the western Siskiyou Mountains steep the leaves for a warming drink at their camps.

 Thymus douglasii, as new on the same page. Later he found them equivalent and made choice of 

 the latter specific name in transferring the species to Micromeria. Under the present International 

 Rules of Nomenclature, this choice holds as to the species name to be preserved.
