LEUCANTHA, Cav., forma iobaphes. Calyx and corolla both deep 
More LOS, on ledges of the Sierra de Tepoxtlan, alt. 2,310 m., 
1900 (C. G. Pringle, no. 8402). 
facrostachyae) albicans. Shrub 3 to 5 m. high, the branches 
‘eous-puberulent: leaves elliptic-ovate, acuminate, rounded or sub- 
é at base, 4 or 5 cm. long, 2 to 2.5 cm. wide, rugulose, minutely 
AE eent-puberulent, becoming glabrate; the margin finely appressed- 
trate; petiole slender, canescent, 1 cm. or less long: racemes 3 to 
} cm. long, the verticels about 10-flowered, mostly crowded, the lower 
ec oming 1.5 cm. apart; bracts thick and firm, densely cinereous-tomen- 
tose, ovate, acuminate, 1 to 1.5 em. long, semi-persistent, the earliest 
ally deciduous: calyx cuneate-campanulate, densely white tomentose, 
‘a nthesis 8 mm. long, the short broad lobes slightly unequal, the longer 
pper one acute, the lower blunt: corolla 14 mm. long, canescent with- 
a ut; the narrow galea and the tube whitish, the broad lip deep blue: 
yle densely bearded. — GuERRERO, limestone mountains above Iguala, 
alt. 1,230 m., Sept. 14,1900 (C. G. Pringle, no. 8430). Nearly related 
to S. Shannoni, Donnell Smith (no. 128 of the writer’s Synopsis), but 
the smaller thinner leaves, not tomentose beneath, and the inflorescence 
more canescent. 
S. Sesser, Benth. Mr. Pringle’s nos. 7065 and 7080, from Cuerna- 
vaca, cited under S. pubescens, Benth., are not that species, but are better 
placed with S. Sessei. Mr. Pringle’s no. 8378 is also referable to the 
tter species. 5 
Monarda Pringlei. Simple, about 1 m. high, the stem obtusely 
angled, minutely and sparingly puberulent above: leaves thin, lanceo- 
late, 7 to 9 em. long, 1.5 to 2.5 em. wide, subtruncate at base, the lower 
half rather coarsely appressed-serrate, the elongate-acuminate upper half 
entire, minutely puberulent on both faces, slightly paler beneath ; peti- 
ole slender, puberulent, 0.5 cm. long: the glomerule terminal, 12-15- 
flowered ; bracts like the foliage-leaves, but smaller and entire; bractlets 
filiform, often equalling the calyces: calyx 10 or 12 mm. long, cylindric, 
slightly curved, puberulent, with subulate spreading teeth 2 or 3 mm. 
long, and numerous crisp ascending shorter hairs in the throat: corolla 
vermilion, 4.5 em. long, the slender tube long-exserted, tapering gradu- 
ally to the ampliate curved throat; lips subequal, 1.5 cm. long, the nar- 
_ Tow galea sparingly pilose. — Nuevo Leon, moist wooded cafion near 
Monterey, June 14, 1888 (C0. G. Pringle, no. 2199). A handsome plant 
related to M. didyma, L., but differing in its simple habit, minute puber- 
ulence, narrow leaves, and fewer flowers.
