54 PROCEF'^DINGS OF THE AMERICAN ACADEMY. 



pubei'ulent : calyx tubular-carapanulate, pulieiulent, with flaring lips 

 and rounded sinuses, in anthesis 6 or 7 mm. long, the lower lobes 

 subulate-acuminate, the upper lobe acuminate: corolla 11 or 12 mm. 

 long, the pale tube exserted, the blue lip hardly eciualling the pilose 

 galea: style pilose. — Mexico, by streams, Zamora, alt. 1540 m., 

 May 23, 1901, and July 25, 1902 ((7. G. Pringle, nos. 8504, 11,124). 

 Related to S.jaliscana, Briquet, and S. Jiuriatilis, Fernald (nos. 75 & 79 

 of the writer's Synopsis). From the former distinguished by its firmer 

 more finely toothed leaves, its finer puberulence, its much more numer- 

 ous flowers in more remote verticels, and the rounder, not acute, sinus 

 of the calyx. From the latter species it is distinguished by the closely 

 puherulent lower surface of the more prominently toothed and attenuate- 

 acuminate leaves and its more numerous flowers in more remote verticels. 

 Salvia (Candicantes) fasciculata. Shrub with pale brown bark; 

 the branches erect and rather rigid, the young parts granular-pruinose : 

 leaves narrowly linear, strongly revolute, canescent beneath, glabrous 

 and dark green above, 1 to 2.5 cm. long, approximate on the short 

 branches and often with close axillary fascicles of .shorter leaves : ra- 

 cemes terminating the branches and short branchlets, 1 to 3 cm. long; 

 rachis puberulent, enlarged below the subremote (3 to 5 mm. apart) 

 2-flowered verticels : bracts persistent, ovate, 0.5 to 2 mm. long ; pedi- 

 cels 3 mm. long: calyx tubular-campauulate, in anthesis 4 mm. long, 

 minutely pubescent with white stellate hairs, in fruit larger and glabrate ; 

 the tube thrice exceeding the ovate teeth ; upper lip tridentate : corolla 

 8 mm. long, purplish, pilose, the galea about equalling the lip: stamens 

 and style exserted, glabrous. — Oaxaca, mountains above Oaxaca, alt. 

 2250 m., December, 1900 (C. Conzatti Sf V. Gonzalez, no. 1151). Closely 

 related to *S'. Coidteri, Fernald (no. 91 of the writer's Synopsis), from 

 which it differs among other characters in its narrow leaves dark green 

 and glabrous above, puberulent rachis, few flowers and glabrate calyx. 



Salvia (Scorodoniae) pannosa. Branches very slender and mi- 

 nutely pilose-puberulent ; the internodes mostly 4 or 5 cm. long: leaves 

 from linear-oblong to elongate-deltoid, the primary ones 3 to 5 cm. long, 

 0.5 to 1.8 cm. broad at the truncate or barely subcordate base, the tip 

 bluntish, the margin closely fine-crenate, sometimes irregularly so at 

 base, dark green and rugulosc above, white beneath with close felt-like 

 indument of minute simple hairs; petioles almost filiform, 1 to 1.5 cm. 

 long: raceme simple, terminal, becoming 1.5 dm. long: rachis glandular- 

 puberulent : verticels 4-8-flowered, all becoming remote, the lowest 

 3.5 cm. apart ; pedicels slender, 2 or 3 mm. long, glaudular-puberulent :
