This species has been long misinterpreted. The original descrip- 
tion (1. ¢.) calls for “ foliis lanceolato-oblongis obtusiusculis, superi- 
oribus acutis . . . calycibus abbreviatis, laciniis linearibus acutis 
ciliatis.” And again in a footnote, “the segments of the calyx 
narrow-linear and very acute.’’ Some scraps of a specimen in this 
herbarium are labeled in Dr. Gray’s hand ‘“‘ M. oblongifolia Nutt.! 
ex. sp. Wyeth! misit Durand 1861.’ Evidently these are a part of 
the type, and they accord with Nuttalls’s description perfectly; 
additional characters may be noted as follows: pedicels very 
sparsely hispid; calyx cleft nearly to the base, the divisions 5 mm. 
long, when moistened, linear-lanceolate; corolla-tube glabrous 
within, 10 mm. long, limb 5 mm. long; filaments as broad and as 
long as the anthers which the style slightly exceeds. The specimens 
cited essentially agree with this type material.
