280 Contributions to Western Botany. [ZOE 
stem glandular-hairy; calyx tube equaling its subulate lobes, a 
line long, on a slender pedicel as long; corolla blue, salverform, 
-tube three lines long, lobes ovate or oval, one and one-half lines 
long; stamens and style long exserted; capsule oval, two-thirds 
the length of the calyx. Collected at Cimarron, Colorado, on 
rocks, September, 18go. 
Pentstemon confusus u. sp. Uniformly referred by Gray and 
Watson to P. acuminatus. About a foot high, glabrous, and 
inclined to be glaucous; flowers open, inclined to be horizontal; 
pedicels one to four lines long; calyx lobes very broad, acute, 
with hyaline margins; corolla three-quarters of an inch long, 
natrow and with large lobes, narrowest in the middle, gradually 
enlarged above, bilabiate, veiny, red, lobes in dried specimens 
blue with a purple sheen; uppermost leaves not auricled, some- 
what clasping, seldom ovate; small sterile filament usually 
glabrous; otherwise as in P. acuminatus. This is the same as 
my No. 1819 in my Utah sets of 1880. This has always been 
confounded with P. acuminatus by Watson and Gray, and is 
probably the plant of the Great Basin referred to P. acuminatus, 
while the other is confined to the plains of Colorado and north- 
ward and may swing westward at the north into Montana. 
Also collected by me at Detroit, western Utah, May 26, 1891. 
It frequents dry sandy slopes in the foothills. 
Pentstemon Moffatti, Eastwood. This is what I take to be 
the same plant as described by Miss Eastwood in Zoe and to 
which I have given a name in my still unpublished manuscript. 
Mr. Robinson refers it to P. aléidus with which I do not agree. 
As I understand that plant it is confined to the region of the 
plains. I find that these plants are (in my specimens) pruinose 
pubescent throughout and with glandular hairy inflorescence; 
the root leaves are oblanceolate to ovate and with a cuneate base; 
petiole not longer than the leaves; lower stem leaves linear- 
oblong to oblanceolate, with or without a clasping base; the 
upper leaves are broadly ovate and with an acute or acuminate 
apex; flowers on very short pedicels, three-quarter inch long, 
purple, gradually ampliate, proper tube short; sepals large, ovate 
to lanceolate, acute; capsule ovate and acute, longer than the
