88 PITTONIA. 
M. puncrata. Root not known: stems almost as leafy 
as in the last, evidently a yard high more or less, the herb- 
age devoid of bloom and deep-green: leaves elliptic-lan- 
ceolate, 4 or 5 inches long, very acute, subsessile, roughish 
on both faces with muriculate points, the margin ciliolate 
with short and rather fine incurved hairs : inflorescence nar- 
rowly panicled: pedicels white-puncticulate: lobes of the 
short calyx triangular-ovate, obtuse or acutish, ciliolate: 
deep-blue corolla about 1 inch long, the ample limb slightly 
longer than the tube: nutlets rather sharply rugose. 
Moist ground at 10,000 ft., near Pagosa Peak, Colorado, 
15 Aug., 1899, C. F. Baker. By its calyx this also would be 
placed near M. ciliata, while by its lack of bloom, as well 
as by the character of its foliage, it is far enough removed 
from it; for that has a leaf-surface marked by broad low 
orbicular callosities, extremely unlike the small raised and 
sharp-conical punctuation of the present plant. 
M. pitosa, Don., first published as Pulmonaria pilosa, 
Cham. in Linnea, iv. 449, heads a subgroup of these large 
lowland plants, belonging exclusively to the Pacific coast, 
and distinguished by their more than ordinary hairiness. 
This one is from the high North, beyond Bering Strait. I 
have not identified it in any of our herbaria; but its long 
corollas, 14 inches long, with tube pilose-pubescent within 
for half its length, are its essential characters. The other 
members of this small assemblage are alike in possessing a 
very short and broad corolla. 
M.srRIGOSA. Plant manifestly tall, but lower part of stem 
and the basal foliage not seen: cauline leaves ovate-acumi- 
nate, subsessile, 2 or 3 inches long, finely strigulose-rough- 
ened above, more loosely and coarsely strigose beneath : 
pedicels and calyx canescently somewhat villous, segments 
of the latter lanceolate, rather short, not ciliate but both faces 
clothed with the rather dense strigose-villous or pilose hairi-
