 Ball. Calif. Acad. i. 210 (1885) and ii. 409. Leaves tliiii, 

 plane and erose-deiitate or (according to exposure) tliiclver 

 and revolute ; calyx and gi'owing parts more or less soft- and 

 even cobwebby- tomentose above tlie coating of resinons 

 globules : corolla anaple, more than twice as large as in tlie 

 last, nearly white with a tinge of pink-buff, the lobes quadrate- 

 oblong, obliquely emarginate and slightly toothed : style-base 

 not tuberous,

Plentiful from Santa Barbara and the islands adjacent; 

 southward to Lower California ; the tomentose pubescence 

 often obsolete, bat the species always distinguisliable by its 

 large pale coi^ollas of distinctive pattern. 



3. D. LiXEAiris. Mimulus linearis, Benth. Scroph. Ind, 

 27 (1835). DipJacus lepianihus, Nutt. 11. cc. (1838) ; Greene. 

 BalL Calif. Acad. i. 96, partly. Leaves sub-coriaceous, linear- 

 lanceolate, revolute, the lower face covered with resin-dots 

 and bearing few short forked or triple-branched hairs, the 

 herbage otherwise glabrous: corolla narrowvanct pale, but 

 longer than in D. (jlidinosus ; style-base slightly swollen. 



Common in southern California {Cleveland, 418) and on 

 the peninsula [OrcuU). 



Because the leaves are not linear Mr. NuttuU Avould have 

 changed the name to lepatdhiis, a term more diagnostic; for, 

 by tlie pattern of the corolla more than by the narrow revo- 

 lute leaves, the species is distinct from D. glntinosns. 



4 D. GRANDiFLORUS, D. lonfjifioriis, Greene, Bull. Cnlif- 

 Acad i. 96, inainly, not of Nuttall. Low and decumbent ; 

 branches and peduncles minutely puberulent, the hairs 

 simple, stiff, deflexed : leaves oblong-lanceolato, obtuse, 

 entire, the margin revolute, neither face either pubescent or 

 at all resiniferous-glandular : corolla 2 inches long, ^^^ith 

 ample funnel-form throat and scarcely more abruptly spread- 

 ing but deeply divided and subdivided limb. 



I have no spacimen of the Santa Barbara plant mentioned
