NEW SPECIES OF MONARDELLA. 83 
thinnish ovate leaves, acute at apex, at base from abruptly taper- 
ing to subcordate, entire or obscurely few-toothed, both faces 
sparsely punctate with large glands, and obscurely puberulent: 
head an inch broad; bracts from obovate to ovate-lanceolate, 
acute, thin and somewhat fenestrate, the subscarious portions 
between the veins purplish, all superficially strigose and mar- ~ 
ginally strongly retrorse-ciliate: calyx-tube yg aay but 
under the triangular acute teeth strongly hispid. 
Of this, peculiar among the perennial species, by its somewhat 
fenestrate bracts and acute calyx-teeth, the only specimens seen 
are in the U. S. Herb., from near Sisson, California, June, 1897, 
by H. E. Brown (n. 381). 
M. INGRATA. Suffrutescent, the slender tufted stems a foot 
high and, with the foliage, pale with a fine but not very dense 
puberulence: leaves small, few exceeding 4 inch, ovate-lanceo- 
late, obtuse, entire, conspicuously veiny only beneath, both faces 
sparsely dotted with large impressed glands: heads small, about 
ł inch high but less in breadth; bracts unequal, the outer and 
round-oval ones half the length of the inner, all closely parallel- 
veined, pubescent and strongly ciliate: calyx-tube pubescent 
apparently only along the striæ, the very short almost deltoid 
teeth densely hirsutulous: corolla-tube retrorsely pubescent ; 
color of flowers unknown. 
Known only from some uncertain station in southeastern 
Oregon, where it was collected a number of years since by Mrs. 
Austin, who remarks that it is readily distinguished from what 
was called M. odoratissima by its very disagreeable, even me- 
phitic odor. hatra 
M. oBLoNGa. Low perennial, hardly suffrutescent, the stems 
tufted on the crown of a perpendicular root and about 5 to 7 
inches high: herbage pale with a fine close puberulence, the 
bracts pale-rose: leaves about ł inch long, subsessile and 
ascending, mostly exactly oblong, some of the lowest broader and — 
more nearly elliptical, all entire, near] veinless, moderately —
