M. Bolanderi, Gray, p. 275. Eunanus Bolanderi, Greene, 1. c. 105. Depauperate plants 

 often bear tlowers little larger than those of the foregoing. 



M. brevipes, Be.xth, p. 275. Enmmus brevipes, Greene, 1. c. Habit and corolla of a true 

 Mimulus. Besides the very viscid pubescence has when young some branching long hairs. 



§ 4. MimulXstrum, Gray. Corolla salverform ; the tube and throat (which 

 do not surpass the very unequal calyx) cylindrical, and the orifice not at all di- 

 lated, but rather contracted; the abruptly and rotately expanded o-lobed limb 

 almost regular but oblique, the rounded lobes picturate-veined with crimson : 

 viscid-pubescent annuals, of S. E. California; with the habit and other char- 

 acters of the section Eunanus, especially of the last preceding species. — Bot. 

 Gazette, ix. 141. 



M. Mohavensis, Lemmon. Dwarf, minutely viscidulous-pubescent, branching : leaves 

 (reddish) ohloug-lauceolate, acute or acuminate, entire : calyx (half-inch long) obloug- 

 campanulate, somewhat ventricose, strongly angulate-plicate ; the teeth deltoid and acumi- 

 nate or very acute, upper and longer one nearly half the length of the tube : corolla some- 

 what gibbous towards the base ; the widely spreading or refracted limb (5 lines in diameter) 

 whitish with a dark crimson eye : immature capsule chartaceous, acute. — Bot. Gazette, 

 1. c. 142. Eunanus (Mimalaslrum) Mohavensis, Greene, Bull. Calif. Acad. i. 106. — Sandy 

 banks of the Mohave River, coll. by the Lemmons, May, 1884. 



M. pictus. Viscid-pubescent : simple stems or basal branches erect, often a foot high : 

 leaves ohovate or ovate to oblong ; lower obtuse, contracted at base, sometimes few-tuothed ; 

 upper shorter than the intcruodes : calyx elongated oblong, prismatic, in fruit filled by the 

 oblong-linear mucronate-poiuted firm-coriaceous capsule ; the very unequal teeth all broad 

 and obtuse : corolla with rather larger limb, strongly picturate-veined with crimson on a 

 nearly white ground. ^^^ Eunnniis (Mimulastrum) pictus, Curran, in herb.; Greene, Bull. 

 Calif. Acad., 1. c. — Mountains of Kern Co., about Keene and Tehachapi stations, Mrs. 

 Curran, June, 1884. Plant with habit of M. Bolanderi, calyx of an (Eiioe, and nearly the 

 capsule of M. Kello[/(jii. 



§ 5. EuMiMULUs. Char, as on p. 276. The perennial species are so either 

 by stoloniform rootstocks or by rooting from decumbent base of stems. 



M. cardinalis, Dougl., p. 276. Add syn. : Erythrantlie cardinalis, Spach, Suites Buif. ix. 

 313. Type of § Erijthranthe, Greeue, 1. c. 



M. ringens, L., extends northward to the Hudson's Bay district. This and the allied 

 M. alatris are perennial by stoloniform rootstocks, produced rather late in the season. The 

 corolla is not really ringeut, although the lips are widely open, for the throat is personately 

 closed. 



The remaining Western species, i. e. all after M. alatus, p. 276, are re-elaborated as fol- 

 lows : — 



* * * Large-flowered to small-flowered Western species: corolla yellow and with or without 

 dark blotches or dots, or in a few rose-colored or dark crimson : seeds mostly smooth or with slight 

 reticulation or striation. 



-)— Filiform-scapigerous and stoloniferous perennial, the stolons often producing scaly bulblets 

 after the season's growth : scattered and long hairs viscous : leaves 3-nerved. 



M. primuloides, Benth, p. 279. Add. fig. 138 in Gard. Chron., June 11, 1881, 765.— 

 Extends from San Bernardino Mountains to those of Washington Terr. 



•t^ -1— Leafy-stemmed and perennial by thickish-filiform creeping rootstocks, villous pubescence 

 slimj'-viscous, commonly much so. musk-scented: leaves pinnately veined: calyx-teeth narrow 

 and acute : capsule acute and not stipitate : seeds globular. 



M. raoschatus, Dougl., p. 278. Weak stems sometimes 2 or 3 feet long. Runs into two 

 extreme forms :
