Eastwood : New species of western plants 209 



and glandular especially above, old bark shreddy : leaves opposite, 

 at base becoming alternate, ovate, dentate, acute, i cm. or less in 

 length, 3-5 mm. wide, appressed somewhat to the stem : flowers 

 solitary in the upper leaf-axils on very short peduncles, bracted 

 at base, the 2 lanceolate bracts about as long as the sepals : sepals 

 lanceolate, 4 mm. long : corolla ochroleucous tinged with pink, 

 glandular, the tube twice as long as the calyx, dilated but little at 

 the throat ; upper lip erect, obcordate, lower with 3 oblong, re- 

 flexed, undulate lobes : stamens and style equaling the upper lip, 

 glabrous ; sterile filament filiform, much shorter, glabrous ; anthers 

 with cells confluent but not explanate : capsule lanceolate-acumi- 

 nate in outline, shorter than the sepals. 



Collected by the author on dry hills near Kern Lakes and on 

 the Hindman's Trail over Coyote Pass, Tulare County, California, 

 •July 19, 1903. This species is peculiar in Pe?itste)Hon in having 

 single-flowered peduncles so short that the flowers appear sessile. 

 It really looks unlike a Peutsteinon^ and at first I was inclined to 

 set it by itself.

Stems woody, branching from woody rootstock, 1-2 dm. 

 high, lower part puberulent, upper glandular-hairy : leaves rather 

 thin, lower elliptical-oval and oblong, tapering to a short petiole, 

 1—3 cm. long, 8—12 mm. wide, serrate above the base, mucronate; 

 upper cauline leaves sessile, acuminate, with fewer marginal teeth : 

 peduncles i-flowered, erect, 5 mm. long: sepals lanceolate-attenu- 

 ate, 12 mm. long, sparingly ciliate and glandular-hairy: corolla 

 red, 3 cm. long, glabrous externally, lower lip bearded with long 

 white hairs extending from the base of the 3 rounded divisions 

 half down the tube ; upper lip glabrous within, erect, the two 

 deltoid obtuse divisions less than half its length, with undulate 

 margins : stamens included ; filaments glabrous ; anthers long- 

 woolly ; sterile filament yellow-bearded for more than half its length, 

 thickest at apex : capsule only i cm. long. 



Collected by the author at the head of Canon Creek, Trinity 

 County, California, July 12, 1901. It is named in honor of my 

 friend, Mr. S. Lucien Berry, without whom the trip to this inac- 

 cessible region would have been unsuccessful. It is a beautiful 

 species allied to P. Menziesii Hook., from which it differs in the

greater size of the flowers, the red instead of violet corolla, the 

 taller stems, and the more serrate and thinner leaves. The flowers 

 are more like P. Davidsonii Greene, but the appearance of the
