Bernardino Co., 1876, Parry & Lemmon 312 (G and M); 
north side of San Bernardino Mts., May, 1882, Parish & Parish

Bernardino Mts., 5200 ft. alt., 8 June, 1919, Munz & Johnston

This species has been generally confused with M. rubellus to 
which it is closely related. It differs from that species, princi- 
pally, in being glandular-pubescent or glandular-puberulent, in 
the shape of the calyx-teeth, and in the placentae being firmly 
adherent for most of their length. Тһе pedicels are usually 
longer than the calyx, but all gradations occur from those with 
pedicels much shorter than the calyx to those nearly twice as 
long. Corky calyx-ribs are found in the specimens of А. L. 
Grant 1033 from Huntington Lake, Fresno Co., California.

M. montioides Gray in Proc. Am. Acad. 7: 380. 1867, as to 
the form *'corolla parva calyce paullo longiore." 
Stems short, 2-7 cm. high, usually freely branched from the base, 
the plant sparsely viscid-puberulent and more or less tinged 
red; leaves oblong, oblanceolate or linear, 5-12 mm. long, 1-2mm. 
wide, obtuse, entire or irregularly sinuately toothed, tapering 
below to a sessile base or the lower sometimes petioled, flowers 
numerous, the pedicels slender, 5-7 mm. long, ascending; calyx 
cylindrical, 4-6 mm. long, reddish, teeth less than 1 mm. long, 
mostly equal, broadly ovate, rounded, apex sharply toothed or 
mucronate; corolla funnelform, 5-6 mm. long, yellow, throat 
barely exserted, sparsely bearded within, lobes emarginate, equal 
or nearly so; style and stamens glabrous, slightly longer than the 
throat, stigma-lips unequal; capsule barely included, oval, acute, 
compressed, the placentae separating about one-third of their 
length; seeds oval, twice as long as broad, striately ribbed. | 
Distribution: gravelly moist places in the high mou 
from Wyoming and Idaho to Arizona, west to Washington 8D
