below and cuneate to a short (2 to 4 mm. long) petiole, scabrous above, 
more or less pilose-hispid beneath on the nerves; cymes subaxillary or 
terminal : peduncles 2 to 5 em. long, pilose-hispid with mostly appressed 
hairs; primary branches mostly 3, more or less forked: calyx hemi- 
spherical, appressed-pubescent, becoming 4 mm. high, cleft half-way to 
base into deltoid awn-tipped lobes: corolla 6 or 7 mm. long, about 
equalled by the stamens: fruit ovate-oblong, 6 mm. long. — Carapas, 
table-land about Ocuilapa, alt. 1045 to 1170 m., Aug. 21, 1895 
(#. W. Nelson, no. 3003). 
Salvia (Micranthae) tehuacana. Simple or branching annual 3 to 
5 dm. high; the stems and petioles setulose with crisp spreading white 
hairs ; the middle internodes 1 to 1.5 dm. long, the lower and upper much 
shorter: leaves broad-ovate, blunt, rounded at base, the primary ones 
3 to 5 em. long, coarsely short-dentate, sparingly pilose-setulose or 
glabrate above, glabrous beneath or with occasional hairs on the midrib; 
lower petioles equalling or exceeding the blades, the upper much shorter: 
racemes stiff, becoming 1 or 2dm. long; rachis densely glandular-puber- 
ulent ; the verticels 2—6-flowered, all becoming remote, the lowest finally 
4 cm. apart; bracts caducous, ovate, 1 cm. long, strongly ciliate, the 
searious body hardly equalling the subulate herbaceous awn: calyx cam- 
panulate, setulose, sparingly glandular, in anthesis 5 or 6 mm., in fruit 
8 mm. long ; the lobes ovate, blunt: corolla 1 em. long, the slender white 
tube exserted ; the smooth blue lip much exceeding the galea. — PUEBLA, 
thin soil of calcareous hills near Tehuacan, Aug. 1901 (C. G. Pringle, 
no. 8587). Nearest related apparently to S. permizxta, Briquet (no. 16 
of the writer’s synopsis). Differing from that in its setulose stem, long 
awn-tipped bracts, and blunt calyx lobes. Superficially - resembling 
S. podadena, Briquet (S. ageratifolia, Fernald, Proc. Am. Acad. xxxvi, 
499), but quickly distinguished by the glandless hairs of the stem, the 
rounded not cordate more shallowly toothed leaves, the glandular-puber- 
ulent rachis and the blunt calyx-lobes. 
Salvia (Vulgares) molina. Herbaceous, branching, nearly 1 m. 
' high, the stem closely fine-puberulent, especially on the deeply sulcate 
decussating bands: leaves firm, 0.5 to 1 dm. long, rhombic-ovate, attenu- 
ate-acuminate, cuneate at base to a slender petiole 1 to 2 cm. long, 
coarsely but bluntly serrate, green above and minutely pubescent with 
short appressed hairs, cinereous beneath and closely fine-puberulent : 
primary racemes becoming 4 dm. long, the secondary ones much shorter ; 
verticels 10-40-flowered, becoming subequally remote: bracts ovate- 
oblong, acuminate, pulverulent, caducous: pedicels 3 to 5 mm. long,
