Salvia (Micranthae) ageratifolia. Tall branching annual, the 

 sharply quadrangular herbaceous stems long-setulose, with somewhat 

 shorter gland-tipped hairs intermixed : leaves cordate, ovate or deltoid- 

 ovate, 2 to 4 cm. long, coarsely crenate, bluntish, dark green and minutely 

 pilose or glabrate above, glaucous and puberulent beneath ; petioles 

 slender, 1 to 3 cm. long, more or less setulose : racemes simple, elon- 

 gated, becoming 2 dm. long; verticels 2-4-flowered, the lower 1.5 to 

 2 cm. apart ; bracts persistent, ovate-acuminate, 2 mm. long ; pedicels 

 becoming 3 mm. long : calyx at first narrowly later broadly campanulate, 

 in anthesis 5 or 6 mm. long, 2 or 3 ram. broad, in fruit 8 or 9 mm. long, 

 4 or 5 mm. broad, setulose, the entire mucronate upper lip slightly

 Oaxaca, mountains near Oaxaca, alt. 1,750 ra., July, Aug., 1900 (C. 

 Conzatti &, V. Gonzalez^ no. 1049). Closely related to S. micrantha^ 

 Vahl, & *S'. setosa, Fernald (nos. 8 & 9 of the writer's Synopsis ^). 

 From the former quickly separated by its loose elongated raceme and 

 setulose stem ; from the latter by its cordate leaves, setulose stem, and 

 scarcely secuud racemes. 



S. TiLiAEFOLiA, Vahl, var. rhyacophila. Stem (especially above), 

 petioles, and calyces densely villous :, leaves more pubescent than in the 

 species. — Morelos, lava-fields below Cuernavaca, alt. 1,230 m., Oct. 

 17, 1900 (C. G. Pringle, no. 8381). 



S. (Angustifoliae) setulosa. Tall (about 1 m. high) and erect 

 shrub with stiff ascending branches ; stem and especially the young 

 branches setulose with long white hairs : leaves rhombic-oblonsf to del- 

 toid, blunt, cuneate at base into slender petioles, 2 to 4.5 cm. long, 1 to 

 2.5 cm. broad, dark green and sparingly pilose above, pale and more or 

 less pilose beneath, the margin finely crenate-serrate: peduncles 1 to 1.5 dm. 

 long, sparingly setulose or glabrate: racemes becoming 2 dm. long; the 

 ovate long-acuminate puberulent bracts 1 to 1.5 cm. long, long-ciliate 

 on the margins, tardily deciduous: verticels G-10-flowered, becominor 

 remote, the lowest 3 or 4 cm. apart ; pedicels 2 to 4 mm, long, canescent 

 with appressed pubescence: calyx in anthesis 7 mm. long, hirsute espe- 

 cially on the tubO; the ovate-lanceolate long-subulate lobes about equal- 

 ling the tube, the upper lip usually tridentate : corolla deep blue, 18
