high, subterete, green to dark purple, pubescent with spreading or sub- 
reflexed short fine hairs: leaves lanceolate, 2.5 to 6.5 em. long, 0.3 to 
1.5 cm. broad, acuminate, acutish, entire, hirtellous-margined, glabrous 
or with a few scattered hairs on both surfaces, often reflexed: flowers in 
dense axillary clusters; bracts linear, attenuate: calyx about 1.5 em. 
long, equally 5-parted to a little below the middle; tube d-angled in 
cross-section, essentially glabrous, minutely lineolate; divisions lance- 
attenuate, keeled, sparingly pubescent on the keel, ciliate-margined : 
corolla tubular-funnelform, curved, bilabiate, 2.5 to 3 cm. long, crimson, 
externally pubescent ; tube gradually ampliated above, about 2 em. long; 
posterior lip suberect, 2-lobed; anterior lip spreading, 3-lobed: stamens 
about equalling or sometimes slightly exceeding the upper lip; filaments 
below minutely pubescent, above glabrous: ovary glabrous; style pu- 
berulent : ovules two in each cell: mature fruit not seen. — Mexico. 
State of Michoacan: hills near Uruapan, altitude 1675 m., 13 October, 
1904, C. G. Pringle, no. 8847 (hb. Gr.). 
Although mature fruit of this species has not been seen by the writer, 
yet on account of the convolute corolla-lobes and other technical char- 
acters of the flower, as well as the general habit and inflorescence, the 
plant is confidently placed in the genus Hygrophila. 
Deppea microphylla, n.sp. A much-branched shrub: stem and 
branches covered with a grayish bark ; wood reddish ; the ultimate branch- 
lets puberulent : leaves somewhat elliptic to oblanceolate or subspatulate, 
including the petiole 6 to 15 mm. long, 2.5 to 5 mm. broad, obtuse, en- 
tire, dark green above, paler beneath, glabrous on both surfaces or with 
a few scattered crisp hairs on the upper surface in the very early stages, 
narrowed below into a puberulent petiole: inflorescence terminal and 
axillary ; peduncles 1—-2-flowered, usually unibracteate, 6 mm. or less in 
length ; pedicels slender, 2 to 5 mm. long: calyx turbinate or obconical, 
5-lobed, glabrous ; lobes linear-oblong, 1 to 1.5 mm. long, obtusish, about 
as long as the adnate tube, persistent: corolla rotate, yellow; tube 
1.5 mm. long ; lobes oblong, 6 mm. long, 2.5 mm. broad, rounded or ob- 
tusish at the apex: stamens exserted: fruit an obconical capsule, 2 to 
3 mm. long, longitudinally ribbed, loculicidally dehiscent and the two 
halves later separating along the septa: seeds small, angled. — Mexico. 
State of Hidalgo: river bluffs below Trinidad Iron works, altitude 
1735 m., 26 April, 1904, C. G. Pringle, no. 8907 (hb. Gr.). A very 
distinct species and readily separated from all the hitherto known 
members of the genus by the small leaves and few flowers. 
Galium pendulum, n. sp. Stems slender, 1 to 2.5 m. in length,
