NOVITATES OCCIDENTALES. 73 
baceous and depressed; the expanded corolla quite flat, that 
of S. umbelliferum being wavy by the elevation of the middle 
of each lobe and the depression of the corresponding parts 
opposite the sinuses. 
Mimulus marmoratus. Annual, slender, decumbent, 4 
to 8 inches high, sparsely and very delicately glandular- 
villous, not slimy; internodes numerous, 1 inch long or 
more, acutely angled: leaves red beneath, subreniform- 
ovate, 4 to 2 inch long, saliently toothed, short-petiolate, the 
floral subsessile: peduncles exceeding the leaves and as long 
as the internodes, slender: calyx only slightly bilabiate when 
young, in maturity round-ovoid in outline and with only the 
upper segment obvious, the tube 4 or 5 lines long, dark with 
a very abundant mottling or marbling of dark red, the 
sinuses strongly woolly ciliate: corolla nearly 1 inch long, 
with very slender tube and ample bilabiate limb, this with

scanty and mostly hirsutulous: leaves half as long as the 
stem, deeply pinnatifid into oblong and spatulate spreading 
lobes, or merely coarsely toothed, or in small plants quite 
entire: stem parted from the middle or below it, into 3 to 6 
pedunculiform monocephalous branches: involucre ? inch 
high, with both long and short slenderly acuminate bracts:
