ence. This denizen of the Santa Cruz Mountain redwoods is named in honor 
of Professor W. R. Duprey of Stanford University, who first discovered it. 
Orthocarpus longispicatus, n. sp.—A profusely branched decum- 
bent biennial or perennial, forming rather dense mats: stems slender, 
elongated and distantly branched, often 1™ in length, usually pubes- 
cent with soft glistening white hairs: leaves alternate, evenly scat- 
tered, sessile, membranous, puberulent on both sides, or with glisten- 
ing hairs on the margins and along the 3 obscure nerves, cleft into 
2 pairs of strap-like segments, the middle one longest: inflorescence 
spicate, very long and usually curved; bracts not exceeding the 
flowers, 5 to 7-laciniately cleft, the obtuse apices light red: calyx 
4-cleft, soft pubescent, equaling the corolla, with colored tips: tube 
of the corolla 2°™ long, externally pubescent, gradually expanded 
from the constriction above the ovary; upper lip 1™™ longer than 
the lower one, rather straight, apex obtuse, finely pubescent on the 
lower surface, margins soft and hyaline; lower lip with 3 obtuse finely 
pubescent teeth which bear moderate sized sacs: stamens 4, inserted 
upon the middle of the corolla tube, the lateral pair shorter, the upper 
pair nearly equaling the galea and enclosed by it; filaments hyaline, 
linear-flattened, glabrous; the upper anther cell usually somewhat 
longer and shedding its pollen before the lower one: style persistent, 
glabrous, much exserted, thickened or expanded toward the base of 
the capitate flattened or obscurely lobed stigma; ovary oblong, 
truncate at the apex: capsule 10o™™ long, smooth, loculicidal: 
seeds numerous, lenticular, with broad reticulate wings. 
ype specimen no. 4938, collected in July 1903, at Point Reyes, Marin 
County, California. 
It was quite abundant among the pickle weed (Salicornia ambigua Michx.), 
along edges of brackish water. Distinguished by its long decumbent fragile stems 
and branches, numerous leaves, and elongated densely flowered spikes. 
Godetia lanata, n. sp.—Erect annual, 3 to 6% high, single or 
branched from near the base, quite rigid; mature stems shining, 
straw-colored, scaling at base into membranous shreds, with ascend- 
ing branches from or above the middle; the younger branches yellow- 
ish tomentose: leaves cauline, lower ones soon falling, alternate and 
clustered, sessile, very unequal, cinereous on both sides, semicoriace- 
ous, lanceolate or linear-oblong, equally tapering at both ends, 
acute, the larger ones 5°™ long, 15™™ wide, midnerve quite promi-
