the border of almost equal spreading lobes, rounded and entire,

Mimulus Torreyi Qray. Low, branching diffusely from the 

 base and also above, viscid throughout. Leaves near the base 

 obovate-rhomboid, narrowed to a broad, short petiole, crenate- 

 undulate ; upper leaves lanceolate, ciliate on margin, inch or less 

 long. Flowers from the earliest axils on very short pedicels, 

 often perpendicular to the stem. Calyx papery between the 

 broad ribs, half inch long, ovate in outline after the flower fades, 

 teeth unequal, the upper longest and so oblique at apex. Corolla 

 almost an inch long, tube thick and much exserted, funnel-form, 

 border not widely expanded, the lobes almost equal, 2 hairy 

 ridges in the throat. Capsule not as long as the calyx, pointed, 

 splitting as the preceding. Seeds minute, orbicular, bristly under 

 a lens. Millwood and in other places on the trail.

 more than a foot high, generally simple, very viscid. Leaves 

 distant, ovate to oblong, narrowed to a sessile base, woolly and 

 glandular, apex pointed. Flowers on very short pedicels in the 

 axils. Calyx half inch or more long, broadening in fruit, folds 

 conspicuous, teeth unequal, the upper one longest, pointed, y^ as 

 long as the tube. Corolla purple, about an inch long with included 

 tube. Capsule as long as the calyx, parchment-like, pointed.

 branched, a few inches high, clothed with gland-tipped hairs. 

 Leaves linear, entire, inch or less long, narrow, sessile but nar- 

 rowed at base. Flowers in all except the lowest axils on erect, 

 spreading pedicels generally much shorter than the leaves, about 

 as long as the calyx. Calyx tubular, papery between the ribs, 

 with equal, short, triangular teeth. Corolla very small, purplish 

 with the tube included in flower, persistent on the top of the cap- 

 sule in fruit and exserted. Capsule shorter than the calyx, the 

 placenta united below and splitting above. General Grant Park,

 sessile and clasping at base, acute. Flowers in the axils on long,

 Calyx more than an inch long, 5-angled, with the teeth keeled,
