FIGWORT FAMILY. 



405 



very oblique orifice, its teeth acute, the upper much the longest; 

 corolla dark red, 6 to 9 lines long, the tube not slender, moderately 

 exserted; limb about 4 lines broad, the lips of nearly equal length; 

 capsule not exceeding the calyx-teeth, slender, and narrowed to the 

 pointed apex, about 5 lines long, 1 line broad. 



Hood's Peak (Sonoma Co.), Lake Co. and northward in the Coast 

 Ranges; Sierra Nevada; Santa Lucia Mountains, acc. to Brandegee. 

 Aug. With the odor of Nicotiana, and in some localities called 

 "Wild Tobacco." 



7. M. Layneae Greene. Much branched with mostly spreading 

 branches, 4 to 7 in. high, viscid-pubescent and somewhat nigrescent; 

 leaves narrowly ovate to oblong, acute at base and apex, about 6 or 7 

 lines long; calyx 4 lines long; calyx-teeth sharply acute, slender, 

 exceeding £ line; corolla red, tubular-funnelform, over \ in. long, 

 much exserted; capsule acute, exserted. 



Coast Ranges: Howell Mountain (but capsule not curved upwards 

 at apex as in type plant from Bartlett Mt., Lake Co.); "Geysers to 

 Highland Springs." Also about Mt. Shasta. Rarely collected. 



8. M. Rattani Gray. Erect, branched from the base, 4 to 5 in. 

 high; herbage glandular-viscid with a nigrescent indument; leaves 

 obovate, oblong or oblanceolate, mostly tapering above and below, f> 

 lines long or less; flowers solitary in the axils and condensed at the 

 ends of the branches in somewhat capitate clusters of 2, 3, or 4; 

 corolla-tube scarcely exserted from the narrowly campanulate or in 

 age somewhat urn-shaped calyx; calyx-teeth little unequal; apex of 

 capsule narrow, somewhat curved, exserted. 



First collected in Colusa Co., Rattan, June, 1884; since then only 

 by Mrs. Brandegee on Bartlett Mt., Lake Co. and on Mt. Tamalpais. 

 The calyx is rather broad, as in M. Bolanderi, not narrow as in M. 

 Kelloggii. 



9. M. cardinalis Dougl. Perennial, 1 to 3 ft. high, branched 

 from the base with ascending branches; herbage villous-puberulent, 

 especially on the stems; leaves elliptic-ovate, 2 in. long or more, 

 dentate, scarcely sessile; pedicels in the upper axils, longer than the 

 flowers, commonly longer than the leaves, f to 2| in. long; calyx 

 strongly prismatic, with equal triangular teeth; corolla bright scar- 

 let, \\ to 2 in. long, the throat yellowish with crimson lines, the 

 tube little exserted from the calyx; upper lip of corolla erect, deeply 

 2-lobed, the sides turned back until they meet or overlap; lower lip 

 deeply 3-lobed, the lateral lobes reflexed, the middle lobe spreading; 

 capsule chartaceous. 



Stream beds, rivulets, or springs of the Coast Ranges and Sierra 

 Nevada. Summer and autumn. The strongly prismatic angles of 

 the calyx follow out into the teeth in such Vise that the teeth are 

 conduplicate; each lobe of the corolla is rather strongly emarginate; 

 anthers mostly densely hispid-ciliate; filaments dilated at insertion. 



10. M . androsaceus Curran. Slender erect branching plant, 1J 

 to 6 in. high; herbage slightly viscid-glandular; leaves obovate-
