Dowell : North American species of Calceolaria 551 



linear, entire or subentire, with shorter petiole. Bentham's de- 

 scription and figure were evidently made from specimens that had 

 lost the older or larger leaves. Gray's variety dentatum is based 

 on specimens having the larger leaves present. 



Calceolaria fruticulosa flavescens var. nov. 



Herbaceous, erect, branching, glabrous ; leaves ovate to ovate- 

 lanceolate, more uniform than in the type of the species ; petioles 

 longer; inflorescence more decidedly racemose. The lighter- 

 colored stem suggests the name. 



Sonora, Mexico : Guaymas, Dr. E. Palmer, no. 2jj (October, 

 1887), type; and no. 258 (October, 1897); T. S. Brandegee, 

 November 7, 1893.
