FERNALD. — LITTLE KNOWN MEXICAN PLANTS. 417 



original description, but a characteristic member of the M&mbranaceae. 

 It is identical with the Tepic plant which the writer has described as 

 S. cladodes (Proc. Am. Acad. xxxv. 497). 



Salvia (Membranaceae) Langlassei, n. sp., suffruticosa; caule 

 gracile duro rlexuoso obtuse quadrangulato, ramis sordido-villosis ; 

 foliis ramorum membranaceis lanceolatis vel anguste ovatis basi rotun- 

 datis apice acuminatis 3-4.7 cm. longis 1.3-1.8 cm. latis acute serratis 

 supra strigosis venis subtus pilosis, petiolis 5-10 mm. longis ; racemo 

 elongato ; verticillis 9-14-floris demum 2-2.5 cm. distantibus ; bracteis 

 reniformibus acuminatis 6-9 mm. longis glabris lucidis purpurascenti- 

 bus ; pedicellis 4 mm. longis glanduloso-hispidis ; calyce campanulato 

 purpurascente glanduloso-hispido fructifero 8 mm. longo, labiis subae- 

 qualibus, superiore late ovato 1.5 mm. longo, inferiore cum lobis ovatis 

 mucronatis ; corolla violacea. — Michoacan or Guerrero : in argilla- 

 ceous soil of the Sierra Madre at 1700 meters altitude, January 27, 

 1899, Langlasse, no. 805 (type, in Gray Herb.). Closely related to 

 8. Sanctae-Luciae Seem., but with slender stems said by M. Langlasse" 

 to be " volubile," thinner leaves with very different pubescence, and 

 with shorter, broader calyx-lobes. 



Salvia (Angustifoliae) urolepis, n. sp., herbacea circa 1 m. alta ; 

 caulibus gracilibus retrorse pubescentibus, pilis brevibus cinereis ; foliis 

 late lanceolatis vel anguste ovatis basi subcuneatis apice acutis 3.5-5 

 (-9) cm. longis crenato-serratis snpra viridibus puberulis subtus albo- 

 pannosis, petiolis gracilibus 1-2 cm. longis pilosis ; racemis gracilibus, 

 primariis 1.2 demum 3 dm. longis; bracteis lanceolato-attenuatis 9-13 

 mm. longis deciduis ; verticillis 12-floris demum 3-3.5 cm. distantibus ; 

 calyce tubuloso-campanulato fructifero 6-7 mm. longo caerulescente 

 albido-piloso, labiis subaequalibus, superiore late ovato mucronato, 

 inferiore cum lobis deltoideo-ovatis subaristatis ; corolla azurea 12-16 

 mm. longa, tubo exserto, galea oblonga 4-6 mm. longa pilosa, labio in- 

 feriore 6-9 mm. longo cum lobo medio valde majore ; stylo piloso. — 

 Nuevo Leon, by brooks of the Sierra Madre above Monterey, August 

 25, 1903, September 4, 1904, and September 19, 1907, C. G. Pringle, 

 nos. 11,906, 13,281, and 13,978 — all collected from the same colony 

 (type, in Gray Herb.). Apparently most nearly related to 8. oblongi- 

 folla Mart. & Gal., which differs in its narrower glabrous leaves, 

 shorter and broader bracts, and the greener somewhat viscid puberu- 

 lence of the calyx. 



Salvia lavanduloides HBK., var. latifolia Benth. PI. Hartw. 21 

 (1839), and in DC. Prodr. xii. 303 (1848) as nomen nudum ; Fernald, 

 Proc. Am. Acad. xxxv. 506 (1900). A fine collection of this plant, 

 made by Mr. E. W. Nelson at an altitude of 2125-3040 m. on Mt.
