﻿454 Wooton : New Plants from New Mexico 



very viscid-glandular : leaves opposite, broadly ovate in general 

 outline, obscurely 5-lobed, cordate, coarsely sinuate, obtuse ; 

 petiole 7-15 cm. long ; blade in young plants 5-8 cm. long, 4-6 

 cm. broad, in well-developed plants the largest leaves frequently 2 

 dm. long and three-fourths as broad : flowers in racemes which 

 are borne in the angle between the dichotomous branches ; pedicels 

 1-2 cm. long, becoming longer and stouter and strongly reflexed 



in fruit: calyx bibracteolate, unequally 5-lobed, cleft to the base 

 on the outer side, the inner segment being narrowest and longest, 

 12-14 mm. long, lobes rather obtuse, narrowly ovate to lanceolate, 

 strongly veined and very glandular ; bracts oblong-lanceolate, 6-7 

 mm. long : corolla constricted at the base, gaping though not so 

 widely as in other southwestern species, 2.5-3 cm - l° n £> °* u ^ 

 cream yellow with a large purple blotch in upper side of the throat 

 and spreading over the two upper lobes, 5-lobed, the upper and 

 lateral reflexed, entire to repand ; tube glandular-pubescent over 

 the entire outside and somewhat so within the throat : stamens 

 didynamous, the rudiment of the fifth only 1 mm. long ; filaments 

 glabrous except at the base where they are finely glandular : ovary 

 finely glandular ; style longer than the stamens; pistil 2 -parted : 

 fruit as in the nearly related species, 1 dm. long, including the 

 strongly incurved beak, very glandular-viscid without, endocarp 

 tough, woody ; seeds irregularly flattened by crowding, 6-8 mm.

be referred here, as well as Dr. Mearns' no. 21 5 from Fort Verde. 

 Arizona, September 14, 1887, and Wright's no. 429 ( in Columbia 

 Herbarium) without locality but probably from some place in Texas 

 or Chihuahua near El Paso. This plant has been referred gener- 

 ally to M fragrans Lindl. but it is easily separated from that 

 species by its smaller, dull colored and less gaping corolla an 

 narrower calyx-segments. I have confused it with M. proboscn ea 

 Glox. and it may be the plant Dr. Gray has in mind when exten 

 ing the range of that species to New Mexico. Most herbanu 

 material represent the plant but poorly, since it is only possible 

 press the tips of the branches with the smaller leaves or e 

 collect only young plants which show only small leaves,
