80. PITTONIA. 
leafy-bracted and compact inflorescence of narrow heads, I 
have only from Ocean Springs, Mississippi, as collected by Pro: — 
fessor Tracy, 9 Oct. 1898; unless I may refer to the species some 
material from Apalachicola, Florida, collected by the late Dr. 
Chapman, and distributed from Biltmore. 
E. SCABRA. Stoutish, rigid, much branched, erect, 4 or 5 
feet high, the lower and unbranched part of the stem glabrous, | 
terete, only faintly striate ; the rather loose somewhat fastigiate — 
panicle a foot high and almost as broad; the branches and also — 
their linear-lanceolate 1-nerved leaves scabrous, their margins ~ 
and the nerve beneath scabro-hispidulous; ultimate branchlets — 
sharply angled, the angles hispid, the reduced leaves linear, 
very obtuse, sparsely hispidulous rather than scabrous: involu- — 
cres solitary, pedicellate, oblong; bracts firm, the outer ovate, — 
inner linear, all obtusish: rays apparently 4 or 5; disk-flowers a 
fewer: achenes canescently strigulose. ie 
A remarkable species, apparently collected only by Prof 
Tracy, at Biloxi, Miss., 10 Oct.,1897. It is n. 1750 of my set of i 
his plants, but, as thite is no specimen of it in the U. 8. Herr: 
barium I infer that duplicates may not have been distributed. —

New SPECIES OF MoNARDELLA. 
Before proceeding with the diagnoses of a considerable num- 
ber of these fine labiates appearing as if hitherto undescribed, — 
it is needful I should correct one error. While most of the 
material in the herbaria representing suffrutescent species of 
Monardella has been named M. odoratissima, I was less careful, — 
on a former occasion, than I should have been, ih attempting to : 
ascertain just what plant Bentham had in view under that name 
It is now evident, to me, after careful investigation, that my — 
M. nervosa, Pitt. iv., 322, is quite exactly M. odoratissima, Benth; —
