Type collected at Carmel by the Sea, Monterey County, Cali- 

 fornia, June 1 6, 1904, by Gwendolan Newell. The species was 

 discovered a short time before by Mrs. Joseph Clemens, whose 

 enthusiastic love of the wil'd flowers this peculiar species will com- 

 memorate. It is related to C. foliolosa H. & A., but has an 

 entirely different corolla.

Antirrhinum ovatum sp. nov. 



Annual, simple or branching diffusely from the base, 1—3 dm. 

 high, glandular-hairy throughout with spreading hairs, flowering 

 from almost the. lowest axils : leaves ovate, sessile or the lowest 

 short-petioled, truncate, retuse or obtuse at the apex, which has 

 a spot destitute of the dense glandular hairs that clothe the rest 

 of the surface, 1—2 cm. long, 0.5-1 cm. wide : flowers axillary on 

 short peduncles not so long as the calyx : divisions of the calyx 

 unequal, four linear, acute, 5 mm. long, I mm, wide, the fifth 

 foliaceous, elliptical, 10-12 cm. long, 5 mm. wide: corolla rather 

 large, with widely open throat, the upper lip pink, lower white ; 

 tube curved, prominently saccate at base, widening abruptly to 

 the throat, about 7 mm. long, 4 mm. broad, throat ample ; upper 

 lip 8 mm. wide, of two rounded lobes ; lower lip reflexed, with 

 smooth palate and 3 short, rounded, reflexed lobes : stamens 

 hairy at the insertion at the base of the tube, otherwise glabrous, 

 the two shorter ones free, the other two united by the thick 

 anthers ; ovary and lower part of style glandular-hairy, the upper 

 part smooth, broader : fruit tipped with the persistent style : seeds 

 cuneate, rugose and the rugae muricate. 



Collected by the author on the Carisa Plains, San Luis Obispo 



County, California, and the hills adjacent to the Painted Rocks, 



June 12, 1902. . 



It grew in the somewhat alkali soil, and has the slight odor 

 of carrion so often found among such plants. While it is larger- 

 flowered than any other California species, it is an unattractive- 

 looking plant. , It has the short branchlets that look as if they 

 niight be tortile and prehensile if there was anything to cling to, 

 but none of the specimens observed possessed the habit or per- 

 haps the chance.
