Field note. — Monardella crispa has been collected at Surf, K. Brandegee, and at Guadalupe, 

 Condit. On the Nipomo Mesa, it occurs, ace. to C. B. Wolf, on moving sand dunes and not on 

 stabilized ones, the stems elongating upward as a dune grows, and sometimes forming coarse 

 plants 3 to 5 feet across. This species, certainly perennial, must be regarded as distinct from 

 Monardella undulata.
