 last, but bristles not rigid plumosely ciliate, co-

 lanceolate aristate — Alabama, leaves uncial,the 

 floral are quite sessile, flowers white incarnate. 

 One of the sp. blended in Monarda hirsuta^ 

 the real sp. is my BL nepetoides, a 3d is the 

 next. 



984. Blephilia lanceolata R. stem deeply 

 4grooved quite hirsute, leaves well petiolate lan-
