Var. LEPTOSiPiioN : foliis integerrimis vel obsolete repando-dentatis ; corolhe tubo calyce duplo 



longiore. Stem apparently assurgent. Leaves three-fourths of an inch long, ovate, abruptly 



tapering at the base to a petiole which is half the length of the lamina. Bracts ovate, acute, 

 slightly colored. Head nearly an inch in diameter, about 30-flowered. Calyx oblong-cj^lin- 

 drical ; teeth lanceolate, acute, nearly equal. Tube of the corolla slender, a little taperin 



upward ; segments of the limb linear, rather acute, scarcely ecLual. Stamens exserted ; anther- 

 cells at length so much divaricate as to be in a line and almost confluent. Differs from the 

 ordinary form of M. villosa in being much less hairy, the leaves notcrenate-serrate (as they are 

 in our California specimens, and in the figure (quoted above), the longer petioles, less crowded 

 heads of flowers, and especially in the long-exserted tube of the corolla.

 about 3 lines long, slightly curved, the teeth one-fifth the length of the tabe. Corolla about as
