208 Eastwood ; New species of western plants 



Collected on Mt, Wilson, near Pasadena, California, June 6, 

 1903, by Fordyce Grinnell, Jr., in whose honor it is named as a 

 mark of appreciation for a collectian of plants made on the moun- 

 tain and given to the California Academy of Sciences. It is near 



* 



P. Palincri Gray, of which it may prove to be a variety. It is 

 distinguished from that species by bright-green instead of glaucous 

 foliage, and a shorter tube to the corolla, which is broader and 

 shorter, and with two lips widely spreading. 



^Pentstemon anguineus sp. nov. 



Stems branching at base, glabrous to the inflorescence : lowest 

 cauHne and radical leaves orbicular, ovate, or oval, tapering to 

 petioles about as long as the blades, together 2-9 cm.; upper 

 cauline leaves ovate-oblong, cordate or aurlculate at the connate- 

 clasping base, all serrate generally with the edges of the teeth 

 revolute, the uppermost pair almost entire, upper surface bright- 

 green, lower paler: inflorescence short, open-paniculate, densely 

 glandular-viUous, the hairs tipped with linear glands ; bracts and 

 bractlets ovate-lanceolate, glandular-villous ; peduncles spreading, 

 5-10 mm. long, pedicels shorter; calyx campanulate, obtuse at 

 base, 4 mm. long, the divisions acute or obtuse but not attenuate : 

 corolla reddish-violet, 17 mm. long, the two lips separated by a 

 broad sinus ; the divisions of the upper lip oblong, rounded, half 

 its length ; lower lip longer than the upper, of 3 similar, slightly 

 bearded divisions ; tube about as long as the calyx, abruptly 

 dilated to the throat, the entire corolla about 15 mm. long, half as 

 wide ; stamens included within the upper lip ; sterile filament con- 

 spicuously exserted from the yawning mouth, conspicuously 

 bearded at apex, less so below; anthers minutely scabrous exter- 

 nally, canescent within : ovary tapering to the filiform style, stigma 

 capitate. 



Collected near Shelley Creek on the Waldo-Crescent City 



road, northwestern California, growing in rather wet places at the 



base of clifls and rocks, in bloom June, 1903. It is probably 



nearest P. Rattani minor Gray, but the flowers are larger, the 



leaves serrate and the sterile filament more conspicuously exserted. 



The corolla looks like the head of an aggressive snake, with open 



mouth and hairy tongue protruded. 



'' Pentstemon scabridus sp. nov. 



Shrubby at base, forming clumps, with numerous, slender, 

 erect, virgate branches, 4-5 dm. high, scabrous-hispid throughout
