low whitened with a dense short tomentum, interspersed with 

 small shining resinous dots; veins rather prominent; petioles 

 slender, the base enlarged, often over 2cm. long on the larger 

 leaves, the upper leaves shorter petioled, or the last pair sessile: 

 flowering spike dense, not interrupted: calyx about 8mm. long, 

 the tube bright green, short-pubescent and resinous dotted, the 

 lanceolate-acuminate lobes 2mm. long, pale purple like the flow- 

 ers: corollas one-third longer than the calyx, the stamens and 

 style long-exserted. 



The type is No. 5792, collected June 28, 1902, on the west 

 side of Knight's Valley, Sonoma county, along the road leading 

 to Mark West Springs, growing among grass and shrubs. No. 

 5900, collected about Summit Lake, near the summit of Mt. 

 Sanhedrin, Lake county, July 15, 1902, is also of this species, 

 as well as No. 7077, collected about the lower end of Donner 

 Lake, Nevada county, August i, 1Q03. The two last mentioned 

 stations are each at elevations of about 6000 feet, the first in the 

 Coast Range, and the latter on the eastern slope of the Sierras. 



A. glaucifolia has hitherto passed in California for Lophaii- 

 thiis urticifoliiis Benth., which species, originally collected by 

 Douglas "in America boreali-occidentalis ad flumen Lewis et 

 Clark," is described as a branched glabrous plant, with obtuse 

 leaves, or only the upper ones acutish. It may not occur in 

 California, as it belongs to an entirely different geographical 

 range, few species from which occur within our borders. Our 

 species has a strong, disagreeable odor. The whitened under 

 surfaces of the leaves, whence the specific name, is less promi- 

 nent in the dried than in the living state. 



Stachys rivularis 



Stems 4-6 dm. high, deeply channeled between the angles, 

 especially below, pubescent with short spreading hairs: leaves 

 elliptical-oblong, obtuse, or the uppermost lance-oblong, acutish, 

 crenate, the larger ones on the middle part of the stem 6-8cm. 

 long, 3.5-4cm. wide, both sides more or less pubescent with ap-
