A very near relative of P. dvacteata, and perhaps only a variety 
thereof. The habit and form of the leaves are the same, except 
that P. Montanensis is a much more slender plant and has a shorter 
spike. In P. dvacteosa the spike is often 2-3 dm. long, the bracts, 
especially the lower, fully as long as the light yellow corolla, the 
lateral lobes of lip are smaller. 
Type: J. H. Flodman, no. 796, from Little Belt Mountains, 
nine miles from Barker, August 18, 1896. 
* PEDICULARIS CTENOPHORA. 
Stem from a thickened caudex, about 3 dm. high, glabrous, 
strict, striate; leaves numerous, especially at the base, glabrous, 
rather thickish, pinnately divided into linear-lanceolate serrate 
segments; spike about 1 dm. long, rather loose; bracts broadly 
Ovate in outline, pectinately divided ; calyx gibbous above, purple- 
striate, more or less villous-ciliate at the base; corolla purplish; 
galea arcuate, produced into an elongated *incurved beak; lip very 
broad, especially the lateral lobes. 
It is a near relative of P. contorta, from which it differs in the 
color of the flowers, the more gibbous and purple-striate calyx, its 
hairiness at the base‘and the much larger and broader bracts.

mountain, near Lima, Montana, July 29, 1895.

GILIA CEPHALOIDEA N. sp. 
G. spicata var. capitata Gray, Syn. Fl. 2; part 1, 144, 1886 (in 
part): not Proc. Am. Acad. 8: 274, 1870, nor G. capitata Sims,

Jenney’s plant collected in the Black Hills of South Dakota 
was included by Gray in the Synoptical Flora in G. spicata 
capitata. It is however scarcely the same as Hall & Harbour’s no. 
461, the type of the variety. The species, represented by Jenney’s 
plant, my own no. 886, collected 1892, in the same region and 
no. 2764 collected near Lima, Mont., in 1895, differs from Gilia 
spicata not only in the subcapitate inflorescence, but also in the 
form and color of the flower. In G. sficata the corolla is greenish 
or dull white, has a tube which is fully twice as long as the calyx, 
and oblong segments that are only one-third the length of the 
tube. In G. cephaloidea the corolla is pure white, tube only % or 
¥ longer than the calyx and the segments elliptical and about
