306 ANNALS OF THE MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN 
іп Dr. Gray’s handwriting, ‘‘M. mephitieus (Eunanus), Syn. Fl. 
N. Amer." Тһе specimen of Miss Dix's is a larger plant with 
larger flowers and is undoubtedly M. mephiticus, described by 
Greene in 1885. In view of this, it has seemed advisable to 
accept Dr. Gray's collection from “ Peregoy’s, Clark's, ete., 1872,” 
the next specimen cited, as the type. 
92. M. Jepsonii Grant! 
Glandular-pubescent plants; stems 3-8 em. high, simple or 
usually more or less branched; leaves mostly basal, oblong, ob- 
lanceolate or spatulate, 9-15 mm. long, 2-3 mm. broad, obtuse, 
tapering to а short slender petiole, l-nerved, entire, mostly 
clustered with the flowers toward the tips of the stem and 
branches; pedicels filiform, 1-2 mm. long; calyx cylindrical, 2-3 
mm. long, becoming 4—5 mm. long when mature, teeth triangular, 
acute to subulate, almost one-third the length of the tube, nearly 
equal, the throat oblique; corolla bilabiate, reddish-purple, 
funnelform, 9-10 mm. long, marcescent, becoming filiform, the 
tube very slender and at least 114 times as long as the calyx, 
throat abruptly expanding, slightly bearded below the lower lip, 
lobes short, truncate, unequal, the upper lip erect and longer than 
the lower, often with darker blotches down the throat, or with 8 
large yellowish patch spotted with red; upper pair of stamens 
exserted, anthers glabrous; style exserted, the stigma-lobes about 
as long as the corolla, subequal, broadly peltate-funnelform; 
capsule oblong, obtuse, usually slightly exceeding the somewhat
