Calamixtha Palmeri. Sect. Act'nos : odore et facie Hedeotnce, an- 

 nua, a basi ramosa, spithamaea, pube molli ; foliis obovatis vel spathulato- 

 oblongis in petiolum attenuatis integerrimis, floralibus decresceutibus 

 conformibus ; bracteis minimis subulatis ; verticillastris G-9-floi'is, supe- 

 rioribus folia floralia ajquantibus ; calyce parce hirsute basi vix gibboso, 

 fauce villosissima, labiis tubo brevioribus, superiore latiore fructifero 

 recurvo pateute ; corolla purpurea calyce vix duplo longiore, tubo in- 

 cluso ; antherae loculis jjarallelis, connectivo baud incrassato. — Guada- 

 lupe Island, Lower California. " Common in the intex'ior of the island, 

 not cropped by the goats," Dr. Palmer. Flower only 3 lines long ; 

 pedicels a line or so in length. Calyx shorter than in C Acinos, in 

 fruit less declined or ascending. Except for the four fertile stamens 

 this plant would be referred to Hedeoma. The stamens are too straight 

 and distant for a Calamintha, but apparently it may be referred to that 

 polymorphous genus. 



PoGOGYNE TENUiFLORA. Glabriuscula, 2-4-ponicaris ; rarais (dura 

 adsunt) corymbosis ; foliis spathulatis vel obovatis basi petioloque ciliis

 inajqualibus lineari-lanceolatis corolla? tubo filiformi dimidio brevioribus ; 

 filameutis sterilibus parvulis glandula cajjitellatis. — Guadalupe Island, 

 off Lower California, Dr. E. Palmer. Corolla nearly half an inch 

 long. 



Scutellaria nana. Stolonibus filiformibusmoniliformi-tuberiferis 

 perennans, depressa, cinereo-puberula, foliosa ; foliis obovatis ovatisve 

 obtusissimis (semipollicaribus) integerrimis brevi-petiolatis flores 

 brevissime pedicellatos sequantibus ; corolla alba (semipollicari sat 

 lata), labiis brevibus cequilongis. — N. W. Nevada, in Winnemucca 

 Valley, near Pyramid Lake, J. G. Lemmon. 



Monardella Benth. A study of some new materials, and a revi- 

 sion of the species for the Botany of California (to which they all 

 belong), bring to view eleven species, which may be disposed as here 

 subjoined.*
