SCROPHULARIACEJE. 451 



reddish-hued : leaves oblong-lanceolate to linear, quarter to half-inch long, thickish, entire : 

 corolla yellow, all five lobes of the small limb obcordate-emarginate ! — M. montioides, as to 

 the form " corolla parva calyce paullo longiore," Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. vii. 380, later 

 merged in M, rubellus. — Eastern part of the Sierra Nevada, Mono Pass, Brewer and Bo- 

 lander, and near Carson, Anderson, Torrey, &c, east to Utah, Watson, (and perhaps to Colo- 

 rado,) and north to Mount Paddo, &c, Cuskk, Suksdorf. Named for the latter, who first 

 indicated the character of the corolla, and sent specimens which verify it. 

 M. rub6Hus, Gray, p. 278, mainly. A span or more high, simple or loosely branched, 

 from obscurely to manifestly viscid-puberulent : leaves lanceolate, half-inch to inch and a half 

 long, entire or denticulate : corolla rose-color or sometimes yellow and purplish-tinged or 

 changing to purple, upper lip 2-lobed, the lower entire. — 21. rubellus & Eunanus Breweri, 

 Greene, Bull. Calif. Acad. i. 116, 101, the latter the more viscid form. — Rather common, 

 from the mountains of Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona, to California and Washington 

 Terr. 



3. Corolla crimson, hardly at all bilabiate, the limb almost rotately spreading: plants slender, a. 

 span or two high, commonly effusely branched and with filiform peduncles, barely viscidulous- 

 puberulent or glabrous. 



M. Palmeri, Grat, p. 278. Leaves lanceolate to spatulate-oblong, sparsely dentate or en- 

 tire, a quarter to three-fourths inch long : calyx oblong or cylindraceous-campanulate, 4 or 

 5 lines long, with short and broad mostly obtuse teeth : corolla showy, crimson-purple, the 

 larger three-fourths inch long, with ample open-funnelform throat : capsule oblong, a little 

 shorter than the calyx. — Additions to the localities cited above are San Bernardino Co., 

 Parish, Mariposa Co., Congdon (with larger and acutish calyx-teeth, also diminutive and 

 smaller-flowered), and 25 miles from San Diego, Cleveland. 



Var. androsaoeus. Very much branched, smaller-flowered : corolla barely half- 

 inch and in depauperate plants only quarter-inch long. — M. androsaceus, Curran in Greene, 

 Bull. Calif. Acad. i. 121. — Tehachapi, S. California, Mrs. Layne-Curran. Mountains on 

 the borders of Lower California, Orcutt. 



M. exigUUS, Gray. Effusely paniculate, with filiform stem and branches : leaves linear- 

 spatulate, a line or two long, 3 or 4 times shorter than the peduncles : calyx short-campanu- 

 late, a line long, or in fruit barely 2 lines long, with short obtuse teeth, obscurely 5-nerved, 

 completely filled and slightly surpassed by the broadly ovate capsule: corolla (as far as 

 seen) only a line or two in length and with minute limb. — Proc. Am. Acad. xx. 307 ; 

 Greene, 1. c. — Hanson's Ranch, over the border in Lower California, Orcutt. Possibly a 

 form of the preceding. 



§ 6. Mimuloides, Gray. Char, of § 5, except that the calyx is short-cam- 

 panulate, deeply 5-clef t ; its tube 5-sulcate, not prismatic nor even carinate-angled, 

 and almost nerveless : placentae tardily or incompletely dividing in the manner 

 of § 3. 



M. exilis, Durand. Older name than M. pilosus, Watson, and according to the rules to be 

 adopted for that, on p. 279. 



16. HERPESTIS, GEertn. f. 



H. rotundifolia, Pursh, p. 280. Corolla not rarely white. — Coll., out of ordinary range, 

 in Eresno Co., California, Dr. Eisen, Lemmon. Published as Ranapalus Eiseni, Kellogg, 

 Proc. Calif. Acad. vii. 113. 



26. BUCHNERA, L. P. 289, add 



B. pilosa, Benth. Leafy up to the inflorescence : radical leaves obovate or oblong ; upper 

 lanceolate to linear, the larger not rarely few-toothed : calyx-teeth subulate, equal or nearly 

 so, in fruit surpassing the straight but somewhat oblique capsule : tube of the corolla barely
