NEW OR NOTEWOnTHY SPECIES. 23 



Calif, i. 621; Syii. Fl. 175. Described originally from 

 "winter vestiges," the characters of the foliage and corollas 

 were not given. The writer obtained it in the original station, 

 a few mouths since, in full leaf and flower. The well 

 developed leaves, 4 inches long, are sinuately toothed, just as 

 in most species of En'odictyon^ and the corollas are rather 

 larger and of a deeper blue than those of the common E. 

 Californicnm ( i. e. Wigandia Californica, H. <fe A. ; Ei^io- 

 didyon glidinosiim, Benth.), It is a very showy slirub ; and 

 the resinous herbage gives forth a strong odor, rather more 

 aromatic and mint-like than that exhaled by other species of 

 the genus. The seeds are four only, and are just those of the 

 common Yerha Sauta. If this plant ought to be a Kama, the 

 whole trenus Eriodidvon should go with it. 



Euis^ANUS ANGUSTiFOLius. Hirsute-pubescent, the hairs 

 strongly glandular : 2 to 4 inches high, with few ascending 

 branches : leaves narrowly linear (the lowest not seen) : 

 calyx prismatic, gradually widening to the orifice, altogether 

 hyaline except the unequal triangular-lanceolate teeth : corolla 

 I inch long, with narrow-f unnelform tube and strongly bilabi- 

 ate limb, rich purple ; capsule linear-lanceolate, obtuse, thm 

 and translucent, scarcely equalling the calyx : seeds few and 

 rather large, oval, faintly reticulate, with a blunt and very 

 prominent apiculntion at one end, merely mticronate at the 



other.

CoLLiNSiA STRICTA. Stem slender, a foot high, mostly 

 simple, puberulent", the inflorescence glandular-villous and 

 very viscid : leaves oblong-lanceolate, crenate, on very short 

 villous-ciliate petioles : flowers verticillastrate and crowded, 

 short-pediceled ; corolla I inch long, flesh-color, the lower 

 lip elongated, upper parted into 2 narrow very acute short 

 segments which are reflexed and laid one against the other.
