rounded lobes slightly over imm. long and about as wide: sta- 

 mens equalling the corolla tube, the anthers inserted at the base 

 of the corolla, but adnate for one-third their length, the adnate 

 portion bearded, but not densely so: styles eqiialling the fila- 

 ments. 



The type was collected by Mr. Geo. B. Grant at Seven 

 Oaks Camp, San Bernardino mountains, San Bernardino county, 

 California, June, 1901, and was distributed as Eriodictyon Cal- 

 ifornicum. It resembles that species somewhat in its leaves, but 

 otherwise is totally different, being probably more nearly related 

 to E. aftgnstifolium. 



t^ Orthocarpus exsertus 



Branched from near the base, 3dm. high, the branches erect 

 or ascending, brownish, pubescent with straight, rather chaffy 

 hairs, which are scattered below, more plentiful above: leaves 

 few, 2cm. or less in length, three or five lobed, these narrowly 

 linear, imm. wide, appearing almost capillary in the dried state: 

 inflorescence occupying nearly the entire upper half of the stem 

 in fully developed plants, lax below, crowded above: floral 

 bracts shorter or no longer than the calyx, differing little from 

 the leaves, except that they have a much broader, entire middle 

 division, only the tips purplish; the bracts and the leaves pubes- 

 cent like the stem: calyx almost 2cm. long, the slender tips 

 purplish, pubescent with soft, wavy hairs: corollas apparently 

 bright rose-purple, about 3cm. long, the tube twice the length 

 of the lips; lower lip abruptly dilated, 5mm. or more across, 

 slightly pubescent, each of the three divisions dotted above with 

 a darker spot; upper lip extending 4mm. above the lower, 

 densely bearded on the back, the apex slightly hooked. 



The type is a specimen in my possession collected by Mr. 

 Geo. B. Grant at Lincoln Park, near Pasadena, L,os Angeles 

 county, California, April, 1902, No. 886, and grows in "grassy 

 sunny places." It was distributed as Orthocarpus purpuras- 

 cens^ and is nearest to that species as we understand it, but dif-
