mm or more across, slightly pubescent, 

 each of the 3 divisions dotted above with 

 a darker spot; upper lip extending- 4 

 mm above the lower, densely bearded 

 on the back, the apex slightly hooked. 

 The type is a specimen in my posses- 

 sion collected by Mr. Geo. B. Grant at 

 Lincoln Park, near Pasadena, LA Co. 

 Ap 1902, No. 886, and grows in "grassy, 

 sunny places." It was distributed as 

 est to that species as we understand it, 

 Orthocarpus purpurascens, and is near- 

 but differs in pubescence, in the Ivs, 

 and especiallv in the naked, exsertei 

 state of the fls. The cor also probably 

 differs in shape." Heller, Muthlenler- 

 g-ia 1:109-110 (26 S 1904).
