M. Fistulosa, the "Wild Bergamot," has narrower leaves than 

 M. dichjma, and smaller purple, pink, and white flowers, never 

 scarlet. It is also a much taller plant, often attaining a height of 

 5 feet. It is very common on the West coast of Xorth America 

 and Canada, extending southward through Texas into Mexico, 

 where it has been found near Jalapa. It is figured in Pieichenbach's 

 Iconographia botanica exotica, ii., p. 28, t. 172 ; Miller's Figures, 

 t. 183, f. 2 (compare with M. didyma, above. This species is very 

 variable in downiness and in size and colour of flowers and bractes. 

 A variety of M. fistulosa is figured in Curtis' Bot. Mag., t. 145, 

 which has been thought a variety of M. didynia. M. fistidosa var. 

 mollis is figured in Bot. Mag., t. 2958, approximating to M. 

 menthcefolia Graham in the Edinburgh Philosophical Journal, xxi. 

 (1829), p. 347. See also Pteichenbach Icon, exot., ii., p. 28, 1. 171, 

 and t. 3310 in Bot. Mag. of M. fistidosa, which, by Beck, in 

 Silliman's American Journal of Science, x., p. 260, is taken as a 

 distinct species, M. Bradburyiana, found near St. Louis and in 

 uncultivated places along the Missouri and Ohio.

M. Russelliana; native of the Arkansas and among the
