Huilotepec, Tehuantepec, Jan. 20, 1896 (0. & E. Séler, no. 
, a (Micranthae) ageratifolia. Tall branching annual, the 
juadrangular herbaceous stems long-setulose, with somewhat 
and-tipped hairs intermixed: leaves cordate, ovate or deltoid- 
to 4cm. long, coarsely crenate, bluntish, dark green and minutely 
coming 2 dm. long; verticels 2—4-flowered, the lower 1.5 to 
art; bracts persistent, ovate-acuminate, 2 mm. long; pedicels 
ng 3 mm. long: calyx at first narrowly later broadly campanulate, 
s 5 or 6 mm. long, 2 or 3 mm. broad, in fruit 8 or 9 mm. long,

AXACA, mountains near Oaxaca, alt. 1,750 m., July, Aug., 1900 (C. 
Conzatti & V. Gonzdlez, no. 1049). Closely related to S. micrantha, 
Vahl, & S. setosa, Fernald (nos. 8 & 9 of the writer’s Synopsis’). 
From the former quickly separated by its loose elongated raceme and 
setulose stem; from the latter by its cordate leaves, setulose stem, and 
Scarcely secund racemes. 
S. TIL1AEFortr, Vahl, var. rhyacophila. Stem (especially above), 
petioles, and calyces densely villous: leaves more pubescent than in the 
species. — More ros, lava-fields below Cuernavaca, alt. 1,230 m., Oct. 
17, 1900 (C. G. Pringle, no. 8381). 
S. (Angustifoliae}setulosa. Tall (about 1 m. high) and erect 
shrub with stiff ascending branches; stem and especially the young 
branches setulose with long white hairs: leaves rhombic-oblong to del- 
toid, blunt, cuneate at base into slender petioles, 2 to 4.5 em. long, 1 to 
2.5 cm. broad, dark green and sparingly pilose above, pale and more or 
less pilose beneath, the margin finely crenate-serrate: peduncles 1 to 1.5 dm. 
long, sparingly setulose or glabrate: racemes becoming 2 dm. long; the 
ovate long-acuminate puberulent bracts 1 to 1.5 cm. long, long-ciliate 
on the margins, tardily deciduous: verticels 6-10-flowered, becoming 
remote, the lowest 3 or 4 cm. apart; pedicels 2 to 4 mm. long, canescent 
With appressed pubescence: calyx in anthesis 7 mm. long, hirsute espe- 
cially on the tube, the ovate-lanceolate long-subulate lobes about equal-
