Stachys ampla sp. nov. 



Perennial, with a rootstock ; stem 5—7 dm. high, softly hirsute 

 and more or less viscid, especially above ; leaves ovate to lance- 

 olate, 5—10 cm. long, sessile or nearly so, rounded or subcordate 

 at the base, acute at the apex crenate-serrate, softly pubescent on 

 both sides and more or less glandular-granuliferous ; spike inter- 

 rupted, very leafy ; calyx soft-pubescent and glandular, about 9 

 mm. long ; lobes lance-subulate, spinulose-tipped ; corolla rose- 

 colored or pink, about i 5 mm. long, somewhat puberulent without ; 

 lower lip very broad ; lateral lobes half as broad and three fourths 

 as long as the middle one. 



This species is related to S. scopulonnn and ^. tencriforniis 

 but differs from both in the larger corolla, the broader lower lip, 

 and the unusually large lateral lobes of the lip.
