NEW SPECIES OF MONARDELLA. 85 
Known only from specimens obtained by the writer in 1895, 
near the summit of the West Humboldt Mountains, Nevada. 
It differs from all other species in being ornamented with scat- 
tered dark-red protuberances, which, though short and pointed, 
can not be called hairs. 
' M. EPILOBIOIDES. Only weakly suffrutescent, low, only about 
6 inches high, pale as if very glaucous, but clothed with a 
minute retrorse pubescence: lowest leaves crowded, from subor- 
bicular and round-obovate to obovate, very obtuse, hardly ł 
inch long, the others thrice as long and remote, obovate-oblong 
and linear-oblong, acutish, veinless: bracts of the small involu- 
cres mostly elliptical, acute, reddish, pubescent, scarcely ciliate, 
less than 4 inch long: calyx hirtellous throughout, the tri- 
angular-subulate teeth scarcely more so than the tube. | 
In Bear Valley, at the eastern base of the San Bernardino 
Mountains, Calif., S. B. Parish, June, 1894; the specimen in 
the U.S. Herb., and indicated as a variety of M. linoides; but 
differing too widely in habit, size, and most essentially in being 
truly pubescent, the almost imperceptible puberulence of M. 
linoides being a thing totally different. Ad. 
M. VIMINEA. Evidently tall, the long somewhat willowy 
branches in the herbaria 2 feet long, with internodes of 2 or 3 
inches, but basal and presumably woody part of stem not known ; 
herbage not very pale, somewhat glandularly puberulent, espe- 
cially toward the inflorescence; the few leaves lance-linear, 1 to 
1} inches long: verticillasters large, commonly two, one above 
the other, but bracts comparatively small, ovate to elliptical, not 
colored, pubescent and copiously resinous-glandular, the longest 
not longer than the calyxes, shortly and rather indistinctly 
ciliate; calyx pubescent along the nerves and resin-dotted, the 
teeth short, pubescent, purplish. l ae 
This species, quite in contrast with all others by its lax wil- 
lowy habit and often double infloresence, is from some unrecorded 
locality in the mountains of San Diego Co., California, first col- 
; 3 MA
