- lected by G. G. R. Vasey in 1880, at least as to the most typical 
specimens. But Mr. Parish has more recently distributed what 
is essentially the same from “ McCoon’s Ranch, near “Poway, 
San Diego Co., 1897.” A third sheet, and one which I refer | 
to here with some hesitancy, is from “20 miles north of Palma — 
Spring, Riverside Co., on Taurus Mountain, 1897,” by H. M.: 
Hall. All these are in the U. S. Herb. 
M. ANEMONOIDES. Perhaps as tall as the last, not as slender, — 
with quite the puberulence of M. Znotdes and not glandular, the — 
foliage larger, thinner: head solitary, not large, greatly sur- — 
passed, and even somewhat globosely enveloped by large green- — 
ish-white petaloid bracts, these about 6 or 7, broadly elliptical, — 
obviously glandular-puberulent superficially, scarcely ciliate: 
~. calyx densely and shortly appressed pubescent, its teeth with 
also a few longer somewhat spreading hairs. | 
A plant of most remarkable aspect among labiates, the ea E 
tary heads, apparently long-peduncled, with petaloid " bracts — 
recalling some upright one-flowered Clematis or Anemone. The Me 
only specimens seen are in the U.S. Herb., from the Greenhorn 
wh Mountains, Kern Co., Calif., by Edw. Palmer, 1888. | 
M. exinis. M. candicans, var. exilis, Gray, Syn. Fl. 358. 
Annual like M. candicans, smaller and more slender; bracts — 
much narrower in proportion, abruptly acuminate ; naire 
oe longer, more rigid, acute, white, the tube at summit purple | in 
maturity. 
First collected by Dr. Palmer, in Kern Co., Calif., on the 
north fork of Kern River, in 1888. More recently by C. H. 
Purpus, at Walker Pass, 1897. While allied o M. candicaus, 
ya , the specific characters are abundant. 
M. SANGUINEA, Allied to M. lanceolata, nearly as large, but 
more slender, much more freely and divaricately branching, — 
leaves and heads only half as large, the former mostly elliptic- 
lanceolate, only those of the lower main stem truly lanceolate:
