“ Monardella dentata sp. nov. 
Cespitose perennial, somewhat ligneous at the base; stems 
slender, light brown, about 3 dm. high; leaves short-petioled ; 
blades ovate, 1.5—2 cm. long, serrate-dentate, finely pubescent and 
minal, solitary, about 1.5 cm. in diameter; bracts lanceolate, 
obtuse, nearly 1 cm. long, finely canescent, strongly veined, 
rather thick, of fully as firm structure as the upper leaves ; calyx 
about 8 mm. long, grayish pubescent ; lobes lanceolate ; corolla 
about 12 mm. long; its lobes linear, 4 mm. long. 
This has been mistaken for JZ. odoratissima, but is easily dis- 
tinguished by the distinctly toothed leaves and the narrow firm 
bracts.

“ Solanum interius sp. nov. 
Annual, more or less branched; stem 3-6 dm. high, usually 
with narrow denticulate margins or wings, finely pubescent with 
short white appressed crisp hairs; leaves with short winged peti- 
oles, sparingly pubescent above, usually densely grayish-strigose 
beneath; blades deltoid or rhombic, 3—7 cm. long, acuminate, 
usually sinuately lobed or dentate with acute or acuminate lobes 
or teeth ; peduncles 2—4 cm. long, strigose ; inflorescence corymbi- 
form, rarely umbelliform; pedicels in fruit about 1 cm. long, 
recurved but scarcely reflexed; calyx-lobes ovate, 2 mm. lon 
abruptly acute, in fruit appressed or spreading ; corolla yellowish- 
white ; lobes ovate, acute, 3-4 mm. long; filaments very short, 
less than 0.5 mm. long, glabrous; anthers oblong, about 2 mm. 
long, yellow, obtuse, opening by terminal pores; berry greenish 
black, nearly 1 cm. in diameter. 
This has gone under the name of S. xzgrwm throughout the 
_ interior region where it is a native plant; but the true S. mgrum 
of Europe has almost glabrous leaves with rounded lobes if lobed 
at all, very obtuse sepals, subumbellate inflorescence and usually 
reflexed pedicels in fruit. . S. zwterius is in reality more closely 
related to S. Douglasii, which, however, differs in the much larger 
and bluish corolla. It is with some doubt I propose this species 
as new, as several North American species were described by
