SCROPHULARIACEvE . 



ANTIRRHINUM coulterianum, Benth. Var. appendiculatum, nova var. Differs 

 from the description in D. C. Prodr. vol. ix., p. 592, by the shortness of the peduncles ; 

 stem simple, erect, glanduloso-pubescent, violet colored below ; leaves on short petioles, 

 ovate-lanceolate, smooth ; many sterile setiform branches, bracteate at top, springing 

 from the axils ; flowers in a subsecond raceme, almost subsessile. Calyx and corolla 

 strongly pubescent, upper segments of the calyx broadly lanceolate, the rest linear lan- 

 ceolate. Perhaps a new species. Posa Creek, August. 



MIMULUS exilis, nova species. Herba circa pedalis erecta gracillima, ad apicem 

 vix paulum ramosa, exsucca, sparse villosa. Caulis teres, jam prope basim et abinde 

 flores singulos vel oppositos pedunculis setiformibus foliaque superantibus prodens. In- 

 ternodia 1-1|" longa. Folia opposita sessilia elliptico-lanceolata, I" longa. Calyx suban- 

 gulatus subcampanulatus oblique quinquefidus, segmentis acutis, demum subinflatus. 

 Corolla 4'" longa, flava, limbo parvo, fauce pilosa maculata. Stamina inclusa. Cap- 

 sula membrancea ovato-lanceolata subacuminata, calycem demum aequans. Semina 

 parva ovata, testa granulata. Herba ab habitu generis Mimuli subdiversa. 



A slender erect herb sparsely villous, a foot or more high, not succulent. Stem 

 terete, filiform, a little branched near the top. Internodes 1 to nearly 2" long. Leaves 

 sessile, elliptico-lanceolate. Peduncles setiform, longer than the leaves. Calyx oblique, 

 subangular, deeply 5-cleft, at first campanulate and finally inflated. Corolla 4'" long, 

 yellow, limb small, fauces pilose, spotted. Stamens included. Capsule membranaceous, 

 ovate-lanceolate pointed, finally equalling the calyx, I" long. Seeds small, ovate, 

 testa granulate. Habitus rather different from that of the genus Mimulus. Posa 

 creek, August. 



CASTILLEJA candens, nova species. Herba circa pedalis erecta, nonnunquam 

 ramosa, basi glabra, supra cinereo-pubescens, bracteis calycibusque omnino-rubenti- 

 bus, basi obscuris apice fulgentibus, corollis glaberrimis, maxime exertis, pallide 

 atro-flavis cunctisque nigricante-venosis. Folia circa pollicaria, inferiora integra, 

 linearia acuta; csetera profunde tripartita, trinervia, segmentis linearibus ; floralia 

 latiora, apicibus acuminato-lacinulatis. Calyx li-H", subinflatus bifidus, lobis acute 

 bidentatis. Corolla fere bipollicaris striata, labio superiori ssepe pollicari, inferiori 

 rudimentario. 



Herbaceous, about a foot high and, except toward the base, grayish puberulent, 

 especially the calyx and bracts, less so the lower surface of the leaves. Leaves 1" or
