NEw SPECIES OF MONARDELLA 
v M. Mopocensts. Perennial but scarcely suffrutescent, the 
several stems arising from an almost horizontal slender and 
not very ligneous rootstock, and seldom a foot high, purple, 
delicately puberulent: leaves rather dull-green but glabrous, 
ovate-lanceolate, entire, obtuse, an inch long or somewhat 
more, including the distinct short petiole, closely punctate 
below, not so above: heads 1 inch broad, the purple bracts 
from round-ovate and acute to oval and obtusish, puberu- 
lent, the margin short-ciliate: body of the calyx hirtellous, 
the short teeth stiffly hirsute: corollas red-purple. 
Rather common in the mountain districts of northern 
California; here described frem specimens taken by Mr. 
Milo S. Baker in Modoe Co., 1893. It was distributed by 
myself, from near Yreka in 1876, under n. 910, and Mr. 
Sonne obtained it near Verdi, Nevada. 
^ M. etavca. Stems many, 8 or 10 inches high, rather 
crowded on the short stout decumbent woody branches of 
the caudex: leaves oblong and oblong-lanceolate, entire, 
obtuse, only obscurely-nerved, glaucous (also very obscurely 
puberulent under a strong lens), copiously dotted, about $ 
inch long (the internodes scarcely longer), subsessile, the 
red-purple stems more distinctly puberulent: heads an 
inch broad: bracts long and narrow for the genus, vary- 
ing from oblong-ovate to narrow-obovate, the veins almost 
parallel, the whole surface equally somewhat scabro-puberu- 
lent, the margin not strongly ciliate: short calyx-teeth not 
hirsute, scarcely more strigillose than the nerves below: 
corollas lilac-purple. :
