oblong, obtuse, narrowed at the base into a short petiole, green and nearly smooth on both sides, 
and rarely with one or two teeth on each margin. The flowers are іп terminal racemes. Corolla 
- bright purplish-red, more than an inch long, the galea about two-thirds the length of the lower 
lip, and a little hairy.

. have specimens of what appears to be the same species, raised in the Cambridge (Mass.) botanic 
garden, from Texan seeds collected by Mr. Wright. Perhaps not sufficiently distinct from the 
next species. '

SALVIA ROEMERIANA, Scheele in Linnea, 22, p. 586. 8. porphyrata, Decaisne in Rev. Hortic. 
1854, ex Hook. Bot. Mag. t. 4939. Crossing of the San Pedro river, Texas, and on Live Oak 
creek, a tributary of the Pecos ; also on mountains near the Rio Grande, in Chihuahua; Bigelow. 
Rio Mimbres, New Mexico ; Thurber. (No. 473 and 1526, Wright.) This species varies greatly 
in the foliage. In the form represented in the Bot, Mag. 1. c., (which is the same as Wright’s 
and Bigelow’s from Live Oak creek,) the leaves are mostly simple, (rarely pinnatifid, with a 
pair of small remote segments,) broadly cordate, 11-2 inches wide and coarsely runcinate- 
toothed. The description of Scheele applies to Thurber’s specimens and to those collected by 
Bigelow in Chihuahua. It is a showy species, with large bright scarlet flowers.

SALVIA COLUMBARIÆ, Benth. 1. c. ; Torr. Bot. Whippl. Rep. р. 128. San Pasqual, California, 
May ; Thurber. Dry hills near San Diego, California; Parry. This plant is called Chia, by 
the native Californians. The seeds abound in mucilage, which is imparted to cold water, and 
the beverage thus obtained is much esteemed as a summer drink. Thurber. 
SALVIA TEXANA. SALVIASTRUM TEXANUM, Scheele in Linnaea, 22, р. 585; Torr. & Gray, Bot. 
Pope’s Rep. p. 169, 4. 6. Western Texas and New Mexico, along the Rio Grande, mostly in 
high and dry situations. (No. 466, Wright. No. 1090 and 2520, Berlandier.) We have re- 
moved this plant to Salvia, from which it does not differ generically. It hardly accords with 
any of Bentham’s section, but is nearest Heterosphace, from which it differs in habit and in the 
calyx closed by hairs. 
AUDIBERTIA GRANDIFLORA, Benth. Lab. р. 312, Ф in DC. Prodr. 12, p. 359. (Тав. ХХХҮШ.) 
In woods near Santa Barbara, California, March; Parry. Stem herbaceous 2-3 feet high. 
Flowers bright crimson, large and highly ornamental. 
AUDIBERTIA STACHYOIDES, Benth. l. c. Sandy hills, between San Diego and Monterey, March— 
May; Parry, Thurber. A common shrub in California. 
AUDIBERTIA POLYSTACHYA, Benth. 1. с. Abundant near San Diego, California, Мау; Thurber. 
Stem 3-4 feet high, slightly branched, bearing numerous spikes in a long terminal panicle.

12, p. 363. Between San Antonio and the Rio Grande, Texas, and from the Presidio del Norte 
to Laredo, April—September. A low form, which I think is M. pectinata, Nutt. Pl. Gamb. 
p. 182, was found by Dr. Bigelow at the Copper Mines, New Mexico. It is also No. 1531,
