 1-2 ft. high, or more. Leaves lanceolate-ovate, with the margin 

 finely toothed. Corolla rose-red, 2 in. long, the border of roundish, 

 spreading lobes. Stamens included within the corolla. This is one 

 of the handsomest species. It grows in shady, moist places from

 pubescent. Leaves oblong, 1-2 in. long. Corolla crimson, an inch 

 long, tubular, with the border slightly spreading. This is common in 

 the foothill region of the Sierra Nevada through California. 



e. M. moscha'tus Dougl. MUSK-PLANT. Perennial, with low, 

 spreading stems, soft-hairy, musk-scented. Corolla light yellow, \ in. 

 long. This grows in wet place and roots at the joints of the 

 stem. Widely distributed. 



/. M. Langsdor'ffii Don. Annual or perennial, the former slen- 

 der, the latter stout, growing in wet places and rooting at the 

 joints of the lower parts of the stem. Stem leaves round, clasp-

 foot high, leafy and soft-hairy, somewhat viscid, flowering from the
