942 PITTONIA. 
STACHYS LANUGINOSA. Slender and rather sparsely leafy, 
1 to 3 feet high, the acutely angled stems loosely and almost 
flocculently woolly: leaves small for the plant, oblong, 
obtusish, serrate-toothed, subsessile, somewhat villously to- 
mentose on both faces: verticillasters of the spike rather 
remote: calyx-tube concealed by a dense long white wool, 
only the broad-subulate spinescent teeth exserted; corollas 
small with very short tube, the upper lip long-woolly. 
Mountains of Fresno Co., California, 1890, Mrs. Peckin- 
pah. Remarkable for the excessive woolliness of the calyx- 
tube; in which point it resembles S. pyenantha, but is other- 
wise extremely different. 
STACHYS BRACTEATA. About 2 feet high, erect, usually 
without a branch, leafy up to the single rather short and 
dense sessile notably bracted spike; herbage green, but 
foliage sparsely appressed-pubescent; angles of the stem 
retrorsely hispidulous: leaves oblong-lanceolate, acutish, 
crenate, about 2 inches long, subsessile : lower verticillasters 
axillary to rather ampliate leafy bracts, the upper bracts 
ovate-lanceolate, purplish, ascending, somewhat imbricated 
on the yet undeveloped parts of the spike: calyx very vil- 
lous and glandular, the triangular-subulate teeth nearly as 
long as the tube: corolla short, purplish. 
Plumas and Modoc counties, in northern California, Mrs, 
Austin; also eastward in Nevada. This forms a part of the 
S. palustris of Asa Gray, but is very distinct, by many good 
characters, from the Old World plant so named. 
STACHYS SCOPULORUM. Size of the last, often much 
branched from the decumbent base of the main stem: 
stem loosely or interruptedly spicate throughout half its 
length, its angles very hirsute with long spreading hairs: 
leaves oblong-lanceolate, acute, serrate, 2 inches long, sub- 
sessile: bracts of the inflorescence as large asin the last, but — 
not obvious, deflexed : calyx hispidulous, its triangular and 
aristate-pointed teeth shorter than the tube: corollas rather 
ample, but short, rose-purple or pink.
