436 LABIATAE 



Var. subserrata (Greene) Jepson comb. n. Leaf-blades grayish-puberuleiit, serrulate 

 (often obscurely so) or entire, 6 to 11 lines long. — Middle Coast Range from the Napa Range 

 north to the region of Mt. Sanhedrin, and also in northeastern Lake Co. : Howell Mt., Jcp>!on 50p ; 

 Hemlock, Mayaeamas Range, Jepson 50k; Big Horse Mt., n. Lake Co., Jepson 30p; Aliens Sprs., 

 Lake Co., Cleveland. 



Var. interior Jepson. Leaf -blades 1 to lH inches long, coarsely and sometimes saliently 

 few-toothed; heads large (1 to 1% inches broad). — Vaca Mts. 



In the central Coast Ranges the prevailing biotype of Monardella villosa has broadly ovate 

 leaves (sometimes nearly as broad as long) and a dark herbage with a marked pubescence con- 

 sisting in some degree of slightly curved or curly hairs. The veins on the under side of the leaves 

 are spreading, mainly regular and rather prominent. In Mendocino and Humboldt counties it 

 passes by intergrades (such as Van Duzen River, opp. Buck Mt., Tracy 3961) into var. glabella 

 Gray, the prevailing form of which has narrowly oblong or broadly lanceolate leaves 2 to 3 times 

 as long as broad and a light-colored lierbage which is subglabrate or furnished with a thin or 

 minute pubescence of usually straight short hairs. The veins on the under side of the leaves are 

 ascending, and usually less regular and less prominent than in the species. It is formally described 

 as follows : 



Var. glabella Gray. Leaf -blades lanceolate to ovate or oblong, usually entire, usually pale 

 or often grayish, so scantily or finely puberulent as to appear glabrous, sometimes quite glabrous ; 

 outer bracts foliaceous, mostly shorter than the heads or merely equaling them; corolla nearly 

 glabrous within, the lobes of the lower lip much more than % the length of the tube, the upper lip 

 cleft for more than % its length. — Dry hillslopes, 500 to 3000 feet: Coast Ranges from eastern 

 Mendocino Co. to western Siskiyou Co.; Sierra Nevada from Mariposa Co. to eastern Siskiyou Co. 

 North to southern Oregon.
