hispid-strigose ; the hairs with pustulate bases; calyx glabrous 
except the ciliate margins of the lobes; these oblong-lanceolate, 
acute or obtuse; corolla blue, about 12 mm. long; tube equaling 
the throat and limb; the latter 7-8 mm. wide; tube densely vil- 
lous at the base within; anthers subsessile, inserted a little below 
the throat. 
This species is evidently nearest related to J/. alpina, notwith- 
standing the much larger size and erect habit. The corolla 1s 
almost twice as long as in that species.

v Mertensia canescens sp. nov. 
Low and cespitose perennial with woody caudex ; stems about 
1 dm. high, strigose ; leaves linear or linear-oblanceolate, grayish 
strigose on both sides; pedicels and calyx strigose ; calyx-lobes 
linear-lanceolate, acute, about 2 mm. long, on the margin ciliate 
with longer hairs ; corolla blue, about 8 mm. long ; tube 1. 
wide and about as long as the throat and the limb, the latter about 
3 mm. wide; anthers subsessile at the margin of the corolla-tube. 
Closely related to JZ. alpina, it is easily distinguished by the 
canescent and narrow leaves. It grows on the mountains at an 
altitude of 3360-3600 m.

’ Stachys teucriformis sp. nov. 
Perennial, 4—6 dm. high ; stem round-angled, glandular-villous ; 
lower leaves short-petioled, the upper sessile ; blades oblong or 
oblong-ovate to ovate, cordate or truncate at the base, 5-10 cm 
long, crenate, pubescent on both sides; calyx glandular, villous, 
its lobes linear-lanceolate, long-aristate, about equaling the tube ; 
corolla 12-15 mm. long, light rose, with reddish-purple veins and 
blotches ; upper lip narrow and nearly straight ; lower lip large, 
3-lobed ; lateral lobes triangular ; middle lobe rounded-reniform. 
The species is closely related to S. scopulorum, but differs 
from it inthe larger corolla, the longer calyx-lobes and the usually 
broader leaves. The type sheet contains two specimens: one 0 
S. teucriformis and one of Teucrium occidentale, and the two are sO 
alike in foliage that it is hard to distinguish them except by the 
flowers and bracts.
