156 PITTONIA. 
sile, clasping: corolla a half inch long, apparently orange- 
colored, hoary-pubescent outside, tubular-funelform, the small 
rounded lobes scarcely spreading. 
Species related to L. Cobrense of New Mexico and Arizona. 
It is possible that, in the fresh flowers, the lobes of the corolla 
are not, as they seem in the dry specimen, erect. 
VERBENA SUBULIGERA. Root perennial: stems numerous, 
proeumbent, a foot or two long, hirsute-pubescent: leaves of 
ovate outline, pinnately parted, the lower and larger segments 
incisely lobed or coarsely toothed : spikes elongated and slen- 
der; braets subulate, 3—4 lines long, squarrose-spreading : 
calyx little more than a line long: corolla minute, pale blue : 
nutlets ł line long, only faintly striate on the back, the 
scabrous commissure occupying about four-fifths the length 
of the nutlet. 
Near V. bracteosa, with which it agrees well in habit; but 
the nutlets in that familiar species are a line long and have a 
sharply rugose back, and a commissure fully coextensive with 
the nutlet. 
HEDEOMA JUOUNDA. Perennial : young parts puberulent: 
stems numerous, ascending, wiry and somewhat tortuous, a 
span high: leaves oblong or oval, entire, almost veinless, 
sessile, a half inch long: ealyx-tube slender, orifice very 
gibbous, the two lower teeth slender, eurved upwards, much 
longer than the broader and somewhat reflesed upper ones: 
corolla a half inch long, rose-purple, pubescent outside. 
Related to H. hyssopifolia, and with more showy flowers ; 
but in habit more like H. thymifolia. 
SALVIA (CALOSPHACE) FORRERI. Annual, less than a foot 
high, the stem simple, leafy only below midway, peduncle 
conspicuously hirsute below the inflorescence, the plant other- 
wise glabrous: leaves deltoid or deltoid-ovate or slightly 
hastate-dilated at base, the very lowest often broadly rhom- 
boid, less than an inch long, on petioles of a half inch, the
