outer bracts are mostly conspicuously follaceous. In var. anemonoides the inner bracts are some- 

 times longer, sometimes shorter than the flowers, the outer bracts are foliaceous or sometimes 

 none, even in one collection.

9. M. hypoleuca Gray. Stems simple or somewhat branched, reddish-brown, 

 piiberulent, 1 to 2 feet high; leaf-blades oblong-laneeolate, revolute-margined, en- 

 tire, obtuse, Yn to lyo inches long, petioled, the lower surface densely white-tomen- 

 tose, the upper green and glabrous (rarely sparsely hairy), the veins prominent; 

 flower-heads dense, rounded, 8 to 12 lines broad ; bracts ovate, obtuse, pubescent, 

 villous-ciliate, purplish, punctate below with resin dots, % inch long, longer than 

 the calyx; calyx 3 lines long, villous without, glabrous within; corolla white, pu- 

 bescent without, the tube equaling the calyx-tube, the limb more than i/> as long; 

 filaments exserted, very sparsely hairy. 



Opens in montane chaparral, 500 to 4000 feet : Santa Barbara Co. to San Diego 

 Co. July-Sept. 



Geog. note. — The stations for Monardella hypoleuca are infrequent and it is to be regarded 

 as one of the rarer endemics in this genus. It has been collected near Santa Barbara, Nieder- 

 miiller (leaves glabrous above, or a few short hairs microscopically evident) ; in Topanga Cafion, 

 Santa Monica Mts. (Muhl. 3:114) ; in Malibu Cafion, Santa Monica Mts., Barber (leaves thinly 

 hirsutulose above, the stems beneath the heads villous) ; on Palomar Mt., Schellenger (leaves 

 glabrous above) ; near Alpine, San Diego Co., Abrams 4896 (leaves pubescent above, the stems 

 vDlous or subtomentose beneath the heads). The specimen last cited represents Monardella lanata 

 Abrams, in which all parts of the plant, including the calyces, are more hairy than in the plant of 

 the Santa Inez Mts., but the intermediates form a continuous series. It seems not to be known 

 where, in the vast extent of cismontane and transmontane San Bernardino County, Parry and 

 Lemmon discovered the species, but these two botanists collected together in the San Bernardino 

 Mts., a region still worth exploring for rarities and novelties. A plant collected between Holy Jim 

 Cafion and Santiago Peak, Santa Ana Mts., Mum 7742, has the leaves puberulent above, the 

 inflorescence branched, the heads small (5 to 8 lines wide) and the corollas much exserted. It is 

 doubtless pathological.

10. M. crispa Elmer. Perennial bushy plant, 1 to ly^ feet high, the stems sev- 

 eral from the stout taproot and woody below, tomentulose above, bearing nearly 

 throughout conspicuous leaf fascicles at the nodes ; leaf -blades oblong, i/2 to 1 inch 

 long, puberulent, the margin revolute in such a manner as to produce a lobed or 

 irregularly undulate leaf; heads % to 1^^ inches broad, the bracts ovate, 6 to 

 8-nerved ; corolla purplish. 



Sand hills and beaches, 5 to 80 feet : north coast of Santa Barbara Co. May-July.
