Peduncles axillary and terminal, 1-2-flowered. Corolla twice 
longer than the calyx, with a white tube and a purple limb, 
and beard. Calycine segments 5, uniform. Corolla 4 5-cleft. 
The plant is very bitter. The plant from the island of Sitcha 
differs from that of Unalaschka in the calycine segments being 
more unequal. 
Var. B; a larger plant, with longer branches, larger flowers, 
which are constantly 5-cleft; segments of corolla broader.
