 Prodr. xii. 4G7 ; Hemsl. Biol. Cent. -Am. Bot. ii. 551. Mexico. State 

 of Vera Cruz : Jalapa, Schiede fy Deppe ; ia moist places near Jalapa, 

 altitude 1200 m., 13 April, 1899, C. G. Pringle, no. 7788 (lib. Gr.). 



Var. glandulosa, n. var. Branches and inflorescence pubescent as 

 in the species, but with long-stipitate glandular hairs intermixed : lower 

 verticillasters sometimes developed into pedunculate racemose-spikes : 

 calyx copiously glandular-pubescent. — Mexico. State of Hidalgo : 

 barranca below Trinidad, altitude 1675 m., 5 May, 1904, C. G. Pringle,

Stachys Pringlei, n. sp. An herbaceous perennial : stems erect or 

 ascending, about 9 cm. in length, green or purplish, villous-hirsute : 

 leaves petiolate, oblong to oblong-ovate, 2 to 5 cm. long, 0.5 to 2.5 cm. 

 broad, rounded to obtuse at the apex, crenate-dentate, cordate, dark 

 green above, paler beneath, hirsute-pubescent on both surfaces ; petioles 

 of the lower leaves 3 cm. long, villous-hirsute, gradually diminishing up- 

 wardly on the stem : inflorescence elongating in age, becoming 2 dm. or 

 more long : verticillasters usually 6-flowered, subtended by lance-oblong 

 to linear foliaceous acute bracts longer or shorter than the flowers, the 

 lower verticillasters 4.5 cm. apart : flowers short-pedicellate, in authesis 

 13 to 15 mm. long: calyx campanulate, short-hirsute, 5 to 6 mm. long; 

 teeth acerose-acuminate, about equalling the tube : corolla conspicuously 

 bilabiate, 13 to 15 mm. long, pale purple fading to nearly white ; tube 

 about 8 mm. long, bearing a ring of hairs just above the base, pubescent 

 in the throat ; galea erect, externally pubescent ; lower lip spreading, 

 about 6 mm. long, maculate, 3-lobed, the median lobe broader than long, 

 emarginate : stamens nearly equalling the galea ; filaments pubescent ; 

 anthers deep purple : nutlets black, minutely roughened, about 1.5 mm. in 

 diameter. — Mexico. State of Hidalgo : woodlands near Trinidad Iron 

 Works, altitude 1735 m., 11 July, 1904, C. G. Pringle, no. 8941 (hb.Gr.). 

 This species suggests the little known S. mexicana, Benth., which, how 

 ever, is said to be hispid on both surfaces of the leaves and on the calyx, 

 characters that do not apply at all to the plant here described. 



Satureia procumbens, n. sp. Stems procumbent or somewhat 

 ascending, slender, 1 to 2.5 dm. in length, rooting at the lower nodes, 

 closely puberulent : leaves petiolate, ovate or broadly spatulate, including 

 the petiole 7 to 22 mm. long, 3 to 12 mm. broad, rounded to subobtuse at 

 the apex, crenate to entire, narrowed below to the slender puberulent 

 petiole, nearly or quite glabrous on both surfaces, paler and glandular- 

 punctate beneath : verticillasters 2-4-flowered ; pedicels 3 to 4 mm. long,
