"^Antirrhinum emarginatum sp. nov. 



Annual, erect, diffusely branching from or near the base, 2 

 dm. high, leafy, viscid-pubescent throughout with spreading hairs : 

 leaves alternate or the lowest occasionally opposite, obovate, 

 oblong, or oblanceolate, the upper ones induplicate, entire, taper- 

 ing at base to a short petiole, the apex obtuse but with a con- 

 spicuous notch subtended by a peculiar gland forming a gusset ; 

 lowest leaves 6 cm. long, 2 cm. wide, the upper 2 cm. long and 



6 mm. wide : flowers solitary, axillary on short peduncles : sepals 

 distinct, unequal, similar to the upper leaves but smaller, about 7 

 mm, long, 12 mm. wide, the notch filled by a gland similar to 

 that on the leaves : corolla almost i cm. long, pale-hlac to white 

 with sulphur-yellow saccate palate ; spur rounded, saccate ; tube 

 widening upwards, 5 mm. long ; upper hp 2-parted, or obcordate, 



7 mm, wide; lower lip very broad, deeply 3-parted, each part 4 

 mm. across : stamens 4, attached near the base of the tube, in- 

 cluded, the longer pair of filaments obliquely dilated at apex, 3 

 mm. long, the shorter pair a little more than 2 mm. long, scarcely 

 dilated at top; anthers perfect and 2-celled : style stout, hairy, 

 sparingly glandular, 3 mm. long, about twice the ovate ovary: 

 fruit and seeds unknown.

 other species, 



^ Collinsia hrachysiphon sp. nov. 



Stems low, 4-6 cm. high, branching generally from all the 

 leaf-axils even the cotyledons, almost glabrous below, the inflor- 

 escence puberulent and slightly glandular : cotyledons oblong- 

 spatulate, the blades about as long as the petioles, together 15 

 mm., entire, obtuse, glabrous except for the puberulent petioles ; 

 upper leaves linear-lanceolate, tapering to a sessile clasping base, 

 1-3 cm. long, 2-4 mm. wide, obtuse, entire, in two or three pairs : 

 from the top pair of leaves spring two or three flowers on slender 

 pedicels that become nodding in fruit, also a corymb containing i^\^ 

 flowers which apparently become verticillate in fruit, with linear-sub- 

 ulate bracts : calyx-divisions lanceolate-subulate, obtuse, slightly 

 unequal, 2.5 mm. long, thickened at the apex and on the margins, 

 almost twice as long as the campanulate tube : corolla small, pur- 

 ple, the tube i mm. long and a little wider, the gibbous throat 

 twice as long as wide ; upper lip deeply cleft with oblong, rounded 

 spreading lobes ; lower lip with the lateral divisions almost twice
