Valley of the Sacramento, Hartwcg, Andrews, Bolandcr. 



6. P. serpylloides, Gray. Stems slender, diffuse, 3 to 6 inches high : leaves 

 obovate-oval or spatulate : lower flowers remote and often solitary in the axils, leafy- 

 bracted ; the upper usually interruptedly spicate : calyx-lobes unequal and with the 

 bracts more minutely and sparsely ciliate, all much longer than the tube, the larger 

 fully equalling the violet or bluish corolla : sterile filaments of the posterior stamens 

 tipped with minute rudiments of anthers : style bearded above with very few and 

 coarse hairs. Proc. Am. Acad. vii. 386. Hedeoma (?) serpylloides, Torr. Pacif. 

 K. Eep. iv. 123. 



Monterey to Mendocino Co. : apparently common. Leaves 2 or 3 lines long, besides the petiole. 

 Corolla inconspicuous. 



9. SPHACELE, Benth. 



Calyx campanulate, nearly equally 5-cleft, thin-membranaceous and reticulated, 

 especially when enlarged in fruit, irregularly about 10-nerved, naked within. Corolla 

 cylindraceous or oblong-campanulate, with 5 broad and roundish rather erect lobes, 

 the lower one longest : a hairy ring at the base of the tube within. Stamens 4, 

 distant, somewhat ascending : filaments naked ; the posterior pair shorter : anther- 

 cells diverging. Somewhat shrubby, veiny-leaved, and rather large-flowered. All 

 South American and Mexican, excepting one in the Sandwich Islands and the 

 following. 



1. S. calycina, Benth. Shrubby only at the base, 2 to 5 feet high, villous- 

 pnbescent or tomentose, leafy : leaVes 2 to 4 inches long, ovate or oblong, mostly 

 obtuse, crenate or serrate, sometimes almost entire, thinnish, either roundish, cune- 

 ate, or occasionally obscurely cordate at base, usually petioled ; the floral ovate-lan- 

 ceolate and sessile : flowers an inch long, mostly solitary in the upper axils, forming 

 a short leafy raceme ; calyx a little shorter than the purplish or lead-colored 

 corolla, soon inflated; the lobes triangular-lanceolate. Lab. 568, & in DC. 

 Prodr. xii. 255. 



Var. glabella, Gray : a form with pubescence minute or hardly any, the veinlets 

 sometimes inconspicuous, sometimes more prominently reticulated. 



Var. Wallace!, Gray : loosely villous : lower leaves with truncate or sometimes 

 hastate-subcordate base : lobes of the calyx attenuately linear-lanceolate from a 

 broader base. 



Not uncommon on hillsides, from San Francisco Bay southward : the var. glabella collected 

 by Bridges and S. F. Peckliam (Santa Barbara Co.) : var. Wallace! only by Wallace, near Los 

 Angeles ? 



10. SAL VIA, Linn. SAGE. CHIA. 



Calyx bilabiate; its upper lip (2-) 3-toothed or entire, lower 2-cleft. Corolla 

 deeply 2-lipped; the upper lip erect, straight or falcate, entire or emarginate, or 

 rarely 2-lobed ; the lower spreading or drooping, its middle lobe sometimes notched 

 or obcordate, commonly large. Stamens 2, inserted in the throat of the corolla : 

 filaments short, sometimes very short, apparently forked, i. e. a slender connective 

 attached by the middle to its apex, its posterior portion ascending and bearing a 

 linear anther-cell ; its anterior or descending end bearing a smaller and deformed 

 anther-cell or a mere rudiment. Posterior stamens mere vestiges or none. Nutlets 

 when wetted mostly developing abundant mucilage and long spiral threads. Her-
