M. auoposa. Allied to M. villosa, not villous, perennial as 
hardly suffrutescent, the stout decumbent stems a foot high: 
- leaves very large, 1 to 1%} inches long, ovate, obtusish, shot i 
petiolate, remotely and obscurely crenate-serrate, notably veiny, — 
minutely and rather obscurely punctate, green and, to the unaided 
eye, glabrous above, a lens disclosing short and scattered bristly _ 
hairs, the veins beneath loosely hirsutulous: bracts of the very —

corollas rose-purple. 
A remarkable and perhaps somewhat local Californian species, | 
known to me in a single specimen, but this an excellent one, — 
from Leona, Alameda Co., collected by my former pupils — 
Messrs. Michener and Bioletti, in August, 1892; distributed by —

M. NEGLECTA. Suffrutescent, low and dar ordinarily not | 
6 inches high, the herbage green or reddish, glabrous or very 
nearly so: leaves lance-ovate, obtuse, entire or very obscurely — 
serrate-toothed, about $ inch long, indistinctly venulose, petiolate — 
and ascending or suberect: heatls nearly an inch broad; bracts — 
from ovate to oval and oblong-elliptic, purple at apex, glabrous — 
except as to the rather strongly ciliate margin: calyx-tube with — 
only here and there a slender hair, but the short teeth hirsutul- 
ous; corolla apparently pale-purple, the tube not exserted. 
Though inhabiting Marin Co., the part of California whicb, 
as having been the favorite field of exploration with Californian. 
and visiting bòtanists for fifty years, this neat and elegant as 
well as most distinct little Monarde//a does not appear to have i 
been collected except by G. R. Vasey i in 1875, and Geo. W. Duok
