Geog. note. — Monardella lanceolata is widely distributed throughout the Sierra Nevada from 

 end to end of the range. Altitudinally it occurs on the west slope from Sanger, Fresno Co., 400 

 feet, and Washington Flat, Calaveras Co., 1400 feet, to Mono Hot Springs in Fresno Co. at 6300 

 feet. It is also transmontane on the east slope of the Sierra Nevada, as at Sierra Valley (Lem- 

 mon) and Lake Tahoe (Parry). It has not been reported from the North Coast Ranges, nor from 

 any definite station in the South Coast Ranges, although there is one vague record for San Luis 

 Obispo County. Throughout the Sierra Nevada it is uniform in character and aspect, save that 

 at high altitudes, as at Fallen Leaf Lake, 6450 feet {Ottley 907), it becomes depauperate. 

 Towards the south it tends to develop certain quite minor variations as follows : Var. sanguinea 

 (Greene) Jepson, merely a dark red purple color form. — Southern Sierra Nevada in Tulare Co. 

 (Old Colony Mill, K. Brandegee) ; San Diego Co. (Palomar Mt., Esther Hewlett 39 ; Witch Creek, 

 .ilderson 8599). Var. glandulipeba Jtn. Upper parts of the stem, also the leaves and bracts, 

 provided with short gland-tipped hairs or processes ; corolla red-purple, its tube and throat glandu- 

 lar.— San Antonio Mts.; Palomar Mt. (C. F. Meyer 500). Var. microcephala Gray. More slen- 

 der; heads much smaller (% inch across) ; bracts 2 to 3 lines long. — Mountain valleys of east 

 central San Diego Co., 2000 to 4000 feet: Tighe ranch, e. of Ramoua, Palmer 294; betw. Campo 

 and Buckman Sprs., Howell 2975. South to Lower California.

13. M. pringlei Gray. Stem simple or branched, 10 to 12 inches high ; herbage 

 finely pubescent, sometimes glandular above ; leaf -blades oblong to broadly lanceo- 

 late, entire, % to li/4 inches long, tapering to a petiole; heads 6 to 11 lines broad, 

 very compact ; bracts broadly ovate, abruptly acuminate, purple-tipped, strongly 

 veined, without cross- veinlets, pubescent, also ciliate, 3 to 4 lines long ; calyx pubes- 

 cent, the teeth lanceolate-subulate, markedly hairy within ; corolla purple, its tube 

 exserted. 



Sand hills and low sandy ridges, 980 to 1200 feet : San Bernardino Valley. 



May-June. 



'Geog. note. — Monardella pringlei is an extremely narrow endemic of the San Bernardino 

 Valley. Confined to a restricted district about five by six miles in area, it extends from Colton 

 (Parish 1881) to San Bernardino (Parish 3653) and Eialto. Thus far it has never been collected 

 beyond this small portion of the valley floor.

 7 to 9-ribbed, the inner with the ribs parallel and converging to the point, the nar- 

 row interspaces light-colored and scarious; calyx-teeth triangular-lanceolate, acute, 

 ciliate ; corolla rose-color or lavender, the tube much surpassing the calyx.
