supremo tubo vix dimidio breviore; corollae tubo calycem bis terve superante, fauce valde 
ampliata, labiis subeequilongis; stigma obtuse bilabiato, labiis brevibus latis inequalibus sed 
consimilibus; fructuimmaturo subgloboso. Low places, Mark West’s creek; April, and Knight’s 
ferry, on a Stanislaus; May. (Also communicated by Dr. Andrews, pra Flower fully as 
large as that of E. Douglasii, often an inch and a half or even two inches long, lilac? the 
throat mottled with deep purple. Immature seeds apiculate at both ends. This is not the E. 
Coulteri, Harv. & Gray, in the herbarium of Trinity College, Dublin, (Coll. Coult., No. 614 ;) 
but as no character of that has been published, and as recent specimens lead us to sin it not 
different from E. Fremonti, the name should be retained for the present species, to which 
Bentham applied it, although we are not sure that it occurs in Coulter’s collection.

limbo -patentissimo, lobis «quilongis ; stigmate inten. Gravelly hills, near the Colorado of 
California ; February 17. On the Mohave creek; March 2. Plant only beginning to blossom, 
1-2 inches high, doubtless attaining a greater hoieht as the season advances. Largest leaves 
an inch long, more or less viscid-pubescent, like the stem. Calyx 4-5 lines long. Corolla 6-8 
lines long, of the same shape as in E. Fremonti; the foliage and the calyx quite different.

OrtHocaRPUS (TRIPHYSARIA) FAUCIBARBATUS (sp. nov.): foliis linearibus 1-3-nerviis. ultra 
medium pinnatifidis cum caule erecto ramoso levi glabris, laciniis angusto-linearibus fere fili- 
formibus elongatis ; bracteis viridibus scabro-puberulis floribus brevioribus; spicis demum

obtusis vix dimidium tubi adequantibus ; corolle labio inferiore trisaccato, fauce secus plicas 2 
palatinas longe barbata, appendiculis brevissimis obtusis; antheris unilocularibus. Corte 
Madera, California; April 20. Plant rather stout, 9 or 10 inches high, with spreading branches. 
Cauline leaves 2 inches long; the bracts becoming shorter and broader, the upper ones nearly 
palmate. Flowers 7-8 lines long. Calyx minutely pubescent. Corolla apparently pale yellow. 
Allied to O. lacerus‘and O. lithospermoides of Bentham. The last named has the throat of its 
corolla somewhat villous-pubescent ; that of the others is glabrous. Besides the smoothness 
and the one-celled anthers, the calyx distinguishes the present species.
