﻿PLANTS PRATTENNIAN^ CALIFORNIA. 99 



fidis, laciniis longe linearibus, spicis densis non coloratis (in sicco fusco-virentibus) 

 dentibus calycinis lineari-lanceolatis, acutiusculis ; corollse puberulse tubo exerto, 

 galea acuta, labii appendiculis brevibus, acutis, antheris bilocularibus." 



Ortho-carpus lacerus has a great affinity with 0. litlwspermoides ; but the leaves 

 are more incised, the spikes less dense, the bracts almost palmately 5 — 7-partite, not 

 turning yellow by drying, and pubescence more green. In the latter the corolla is 

 yellow, and rose colored in the other. It is easily distinguished from 0. hispidus by 

 its much larger corolla and conspicuously saccate lip.

LABIATE. 



PYCNANTHEMUM Californicum, Torr. ined. Herba rigida, erecta, foliis ovato- 

 lanceolatis, acuminatis, integris, basi rotundatis, sessilibus, tomentoso-canescentibus, 

 pellucido punctatis. Capitulis axillaribus terminalibusque ; bracteis exterioribus 

 foliaceis, interioribus setaceis, villosissimis ; floribus parvis, numerosis ; calyce tubuloso, 

 obconico, dentibus brevibus, valde tomentosis ; corolla in sicco ochroleuca, purpureo 

 sparse punctata, tubo calycem sequante ; staminibus exertis, antheris violaceis. 



The whole plant canescent-tomentose ; stem quadrangular, rigid, 15 — 18// high; 

 leaves sessile, cordate, oval-lanceolate, entire or with a few small teeth, veined and 

 sprinkled over with small pellucid glands. Capitula axillary and terminal, very 

 crowded ; exterior bracts foliaceous ; interior setaceous and very villous. Flowers pale 

 yellow, with a few small purple dots. Calyx tubular, striate, tomentose, as long as 

 the tube of the corolla. Stamens exserted, with purple anthers. A very aromatic 

 plant, nearly as pungent as Monarda punctata. 



MON ARDELLA Sheltoni, Torr. in litt. " Erecta suffruticosa ? puberula, foliis 

 ovato-oblongis, petiolatis, subobtusis, integris vel obscure et remote repando-denticu- 

 latis ; bracteis exterioribus oblongis, calyce tubuloso, dentibus brevibus, lanceolatis, 

 muticis ; verticillastris terminalibus. 7 ' 



This species is easily distinguished from the others by its more exserted corollas, 

 villous tubes, and very long linear lobes protruding about half an ineh above the 

 teeth of the calyx, 



M. candicans, Benth. PI. Hartw. p. 330. " Annua, erecta, canescenti-tomentella ; 

 foliis petiolatis, anguste oblongis, subintegerrimis ; bracteis exterioribus ovatis, acuti- 

 usculis ; calycis tubulosi dentibus brevibus, muticis." 



Herbaceous, ramose, sparingly leaved, a foot high or a little over ; branches oppo.
