at medium elevations around Kerrville. It usually grows in thick clumps 

 from a stout root, the pale, blue- purple flowers making masses of color 

 which are noticeable at quite a distance.

 Monarda pectinata Nutt. Jour. Acad. Phila. (II.) i : 182 (1849). 



What appears to be this long-lost and rare species is very plentiful 

 about Corpus Chribti, especially southeast of the town. My specimens 

 were collected in the Arroyo. Great quantities of it were noticed along 

 the railroad between Corpus Christi and Kenedy. Neither the herba- 

 rium of Columbia College nor the U. S. National herbarium at Wash- 

 ington, contain specimens of M. pectinata, but at the Academy of 

 Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, is a small specimen from New Mexico, 

 collected by Fendler, No. 602, which is referable to it. 



My specimens are rather tall, usually 2 feet and over in height, espe- 

 cially if growing in rich, shaded ground, with a hard, woody rootstock, 

 which gives it the appearance of being a perennial. The flowers are 

 lemon-yellow, resinous dotted, ciliate pubescent. Tne ciliate bracts are 

 whitened, yellowish, or faintly reddish tinged. The following is Nut- 

 tail's original description : 



"Biennial? slightly pubescent, leaves oblong, lanceolate, denticulate, 

 shortly petiolate; capituli proliferous, rather small, subtended by her- 

 baceous bracts, some of them purplish, ovate, acute, strongly ciliate, as 

 well as the elongated setaceous teeth of the calyx ; corolla widely rin- 

 gent, the tube scarcely exserted beyond the calyx." 



May (31 (1810); type locality, Santa Fe, New Mexico, collected by 

 Gambel.
