entire or obscurely toothed, thick, 1-nerved, the lower leaves 
with a broad, somewhat cordate-clasping base; pedicels slender, 
reddish, spreading horizontally, the ends curved upwards, 3-4 
times as long as the leaves; calyx reddish, 6-7 mm. long, lightly 
angled, teeth equal, short, broad, somewhat truncate, mucronate, 
not ciliate; corolla 8-9 mm. long, deep reddish-purple, tube nar- 
row, included, throat short, funnelform, lobes equal, truncate, 
little spreading, entire; stamens glabrous, upper pair exserted; 
style exserted, glabrous, stigma-lips equal; capsule included,

Distribution: in the mountains at Tehachapi, California. 
pecimens examined: Г 
California: Tehachapi, May, 1884, Curran (Stanford) ; Tehachapi, 
June, 1884, Curran (С, Phil., Calif., and Stanford, type col- 
lection). 
This species has been generally confused with M. Palmeri 
from which it can be distinguished by its small corolla with equal 
and entire lobes, its glabrous anthers, its glabrous, nearly truncate 
calyx-teeth with a mucronate point, and its more spreading and 
longer pedicels.
