 eays, "The seed-like nutlets, infused in 

 "water, form a pleasant mucilaginous 

 'drink, which is largely used." 

 SALVIA CARDUACEA Benth. 

 seed of this and the above species are 

 identical except in size, and both 

 known by the Indian name of "chia," 

 "chio," or "chius." As the seed of this 

 is much larger it is the one most large- 

 ly used among the Indians of Southern 

 and Lower California, and the above 

 remarks of Mrs. Bingham concerning 

 S. columbariae may be considered to 

 apply equally well to this species.
