CATALOGUE. 225 



low, subequally 5-lobed, the lower lobe pubescent, the tube about half longer 

 than the calyx. — Growing in the mud, and stems often rooting, 3-12' long ; 

 leaves i-l^' and corolla 6-9" long ; diffusing a strong musky odor. Wash- 

 ington Territory to Northern California. East Humboldt Mountains, Nevada, 

 and in the Wahsatch ; 7-8,500 feet altitude ; June-August. (795.) 



MiMULUS PILOSUS. {Herpestis, Benth. DC. Prodr. 10. 394.) Annual, 

 erect, 2-10' high, branched from base, viscid and very softly pilose ; leaves 

 1-2' long, sessile, oblong or lanceolate, acutish, mostly entire ; peduncles a 

 little exceeding the calyx but becoming elongated, shorter than the leaves ; 

 corolla yellow, 3" long, scarcely exceeding the calyx, broadly tubular, sUghtly 

 dilated above, the upper lip more or less 2-lobed, the lower with two purple 

 spots at base ; capsule 2J" long, ovate-oblong, acute, subsulcate above, the 

 valves usually entire. — Calyx unequally 5-toothed, angular, enlarging some- 

 what in fruit. The apparent continuation of the sinuses in a membranous 

 lijie to the base may probably account for the reference of this plant to He?'- 

 pestis, where it has formed the section Mimuloides. The divaricate anther- 

 cells are oblong, instead of linear as described, and the dilated apex of the 

 style is suborbicular and apparently entire. Northern California. Collected 

 in Truckee Eiver bottom ; July. (796.) 



MiMULUS EUBELLus, Grray. Mex. Bound. Rep., p. 116. Annual, dwarf, 

 (i-3' high,) glabrous or viscid-puberulent ; stem erect, simple or much 

 branched; leaves- 2-6" long, obovate or spatulate, narrowly oblong or lanceo- 

 late or linear, 3-5-nerved, mostly entire, sessile and narrowed at base or the 

 lower shortly petioled, about equaling the peduncles ; calyx oblong, 1-2" in 

 length, becoming somewhat dilated, the mouth squarely truncate with short 

 equal teeth ; corolla yellow, red, or purple, small and scarcely exserted, or 

 2-3 times longer than the calyx and the limb dilated. — A quite variable spe- 

 cies, including M. montioides, Gray. The extremes of form are connected by 

 intermediate grades ; as in M. glutinosus and Eunanus Fremonti, the corolla 

 may be either red or yellow, and even in the yellow-flowered variety the 

 calyx and often the whole plant is more or less purplish. New Mexico and 

 Colorado ; in the Sierras of California ; and collected also by Lyall on the 

 Northern Cascade Mountains. Washoe, East Humboldt and Clover Mount- 

 ains, Nevada, Wahsatch Mountains and Antelope Island, Utah; 5-10,000 



feet altitude ; April-September. (797.)
