7. M. purpurea Howell. Stems branching at base, slender, spreading, dark 

 purple, often furnished with scattered microscopic glandular points or papillae, 6 

 to 8 inches high ; leaf-blades oblong or a little contracted upward, obtuse, entire, 

 bright green and quite strictlj' glabrous, slightly revolute-margined, 5 to 10 lines 

 long, shortly petioled; bracts ovate to oblong-ovate, glabrous or nearly so but the 

 margin ciliate, purplish on upper half; calj'x purplish on up)per half, the teeth 

 markedly hirsute ; corolla bright purple. 



Open pine-covered mountain slopes, 1300 to 3100 feet : northern Del Norte Co. 

 Also in southwestern Oregon. June- Aug. 



Geog. note. — Monardella purpurea is one of the narrow endemics of a notable endemism 

 center, namely southwestern Oregon and the adjoining northerly portion of Del Norte County in 

 California. It is knoT^Ti thus far from the original station in Oregon and from Gasquet (Van 

 Deventer 181), Camp Six (M. S. BaTcer 292c) and Shelley Creek (head of, Paris cf- Tracy 11,429) 

 in Del Norte County, California. As so far understood its technical characters are weak as opposed 

 to Monardella odoratissima.

8. M. linoides Gray. Stems in rather dense rush-like clusters, 8 to 18 inches 

 high, arising from a woody base; herbage pale gray, as if glabrous and glaucous, 

 in reality clothed with a microscopic and very fine pubescence ; leaf-blades linear 

 to narrowly oblong, obtuse, entire, 6 to 11 lines long, mostly shorter than the inter- 

 nodes, the upper sessile, the lower shortly petioled; bracts varying greatly in size 

 in a single head, broadly ovate to oblong-ovate, acute or obtuse, membranous, pale 

 or pink, pinnately veined, ciliate; eal.yx 3 lines long, pubescent, with few resin dots, 

 the teeth short, broadly subulate, pubescent without and within; corolla white or 

 pink, its tube pubescent without and within, the upper lip cleft nearly to base.
