NEW SPECIES OF MONARDELLA. 87 
bracts of the involucre narrowly ovate, acute, scabrous-pubes- 
cent: calyx-teeth triangular-subulate, merely villous-pubescent, 
without spreading or hispid hairs even at the base: corollas : 
large and long-exserted *for the size of the head, of a dark 4 PERPE A 
purple-red. j on 
Apparently common in some parts of the counties of San 
Diego and San Bernardino, southern California, and thoroughly 
distinct from the comparatively large, obtuse leaved M. danceo- 
‘ata which has twice or thrice larger heads, with broad bracts 
and pink-purple corollas. My best specimens are from near 
Julian, where they were collected by G. W. Dunn, in 1881 and Os He 
1888. Mr. Parish has distributed what appears to be the same, no ge 
from the San Bernardino Mountains. 
M. PENINSULARIS. Near the last, about as tall, still more | 
slender, the branches ascending rather than divaricate, and the te 
heads smaller, stem and branches canescently pubescent; leaves ae A 
narrowly lanceolate, obtusish, with nothing of the elliptic in wn pm 
outline; bracts of the small heads ovate, acutish, not scabrous, - pate age 
only strigose-hairy along the veins: calyx similarly strigose be- 1“ 
tween the Strix, the teeth narrower and more obtuse than in the 
last: more coarsely and conspicuously pubescent: corollas short, 
pale rose-red. 
Known only from some uncertain station in the northern part 
of the peninsula of Lower California, where it was collected by 
Mr. Oreutt, 6 J une, 1885.

V. ACHLYDOPHYLLA. Related to V. scabriuscula and similarly 
clothed with a minute sparse roughish indument, though to the 
unaided eye appearing glabrous; herbage of a peculiarly dark 
green, and the leaves few and ample, paler beneath, the very 
long-stalked radical ones subcordate-reniform, 3 or 4 inches 
broad, the length either much less or about the same, the few 
cauline ones much smaller, deltoid-subcordate, all coarsely and 
Somewhat sinuately, or almost repandly crenate, flowers not 
seen: capsules glabrous, the triangular-lanceolate sepals glab- 
Tous, erect, even appressed to the capsule. ;
