3° Muhlenbergia, Volume 8 



late, 4 mm. long-: corolla yellowish, tube 25 mm. long, very 

 slender funnelform, 3 to 3.5 mm. broad at summit, short villous 

 pubescent throughout, lobes 10 mm. long, equaling or slightly 

 exceeding the stamens: filaments pubescent; anthers 1.25 mm, 

 long. 



These plants were referred by Hall to teniiifiora^ but true 

 tenuijiora is the montane form of nana^ which Hall described as 

 variety pinetorum. 



Type: Chaparral belt of south side, canyon of San Jacinto 

 river, at 4300 feet altitude, San Jacinto mountains, Hall pyd^

 sheet 2j^8^ in the University of California herbarium. 



Distribution: Coastal slopes of the San Jacinto mountains, 

 in the chaparral belt. 



Specimens examined'. Chaparral belt, San Jacinto river, 

 San Jacinto mountains, altitude 4000 to 4400 feet, Hall 66g,

 Stems branching from a slender lignescent rootstock, 15 to 

 30 cm. long, internodes 15 to 30 mm. long, retrorsely pubescent: 

 leaves ovate, 15 to 20 mm. long, green and very sparingly pu- 

 bescent above, lateral veins evident on the lower surface: bracts 

 narrowly ovate, 15 to 20 mm. long, membranaceous, pale, tinged 

 with purple: calyx 12 to 15 mm. long, 2 mm. broad, villous and 

 glandular pubescent, teeth subulate, 3 mm. long: corolla rose 

 color or yellowish, tube cylindrical, 1.5 mm. broad, 15 to i8inm. 

 . long, conspicuously pubescent without, lobes 5 to 6 mm. long, 

 equaled by the longer pair of stamens: filaments \er\- slender; 

 anthers 0.7 mm. long. 



In its t}'pical form, this species has shorter and stouter 

 corolla tubes than the extreme varieties, but the intergradation 

 in pubescence and flowers seems complete.
