 Puget Sound. 



O. densiflorus, Benth. Erect or diffusely branched from base, 6 to 12 inches high, 

 above soft-pubescent : leaves linear or linear-lanceolate, attenuate upward, entire or with 

 a few slender lobes : spike dense, many-flowered, at length cylindrical, or lowest flowers 

 rather distant: bracts 3-cleft, about equalling the flowers ; their linear lobes and (8 to 10 

 lines long) corolla purple and white: teeth of the lip shorter than the galea. Scroph. 

 Ind. 13, & DC. Prodr. x. 536; Gray, I.e. Coast of California, in low grounds. San

O. castilleioid.es, Benth. 1. c. At length diffuse and corymbosely branched, 5 to 12 

 inches high, minutely pubescent, or below glabrate and above somewhat hirsute: leaves 

 from lanceolate to oblong, commonly laciniate; the upper and bracts cuneate-dilatcd and 

 incisely cleft, herbaceous, or the obtuse tips whitish or yellowish : spikes dense, short and 

 thick : corolla nearly inch long, dull white or purplish-tipped ; lip ventricose-dilated : 

 seeds longer or larger than in the preceding. Pine woods and low grounds near the sea- 

 shore, from Monterey, California, to Puget Sound or nearly. 



* # * Hoot annual : filaments mostly pubescent : galea attenuate upward, densely bearded on 

 the back with many-jointed hairs, uncinato or incurved at the obtuse tip, rather longer and very 

 much narrower than the open-saccate lip, the summit of which under the short and small recum- 

 bent lobes is trisacculate and the middle sacculus didymous: stigma very large, depressed -capi- 

 tate : capsule ovate. (Transition to Trijihysaria*) 



O. purpurascens, Benth. 1. c. Erect, rather stout, at length much branched from 

 base, b' to 12 inches high, hirsute : leaves with lanceolate base or body, and laciniately 

 1-2-pinnately parted into narrow linear or filiform lobes, or the upper palmately cleft : 

 spike thick and dense : bracts equalling the (inch or less long) flowers, somewhat dilated : 

 their lobes and calyx-lobes with upper part of corolla crimson to rose-color, or sometimes 

 paler and duller. California, common along and near the coast from Humboldt Co. 

 southward. 



Var. Palmeri. Flowers smaller: galea more linear: filaments glabrous or almost so. 

 Arizona, near Wickenberg, Palmer. 



2. TKUE ORTHOCARPUS, Benth. Corolla with simply saccate lip incon- 

 spicuously or obsoletely 3-toothed, and moderately smaller ovate-triangular galea ; 

 its small tip or mucro usually somewhat inflexed or uncinate : stigma small, 

 entire: anthers all 2-celled : seed-coat very loose, costate-reticulated : root an- 

 nual. Orthocarpus, Nutt. Gen. ii. 56. Oncorrhynchus, Lehm. 



* Bracts abruptlv and strikingly different from the leaves, much dilated, entire or the lower with 

 narrow lateral lobes, more or less petaloid (purplish), becoming papyraceous and imbricated in the 

 dense fructiferous (oblong or at length cylindrical) spike, toward base often hispid-ciliatc, other- 

 wise naked : corolla mostly rose-color: cauline leaves linear-attenuate; lower mostly entire and 

 upper 3-5-parted. 



O. pachystachyus. A span high, scabrous-puberulent and the stem hirsute : bracts an 

 inch long, all the upper entire and oblong, rose-purple as is the (1 inch) glabrous corolla: 

 tube of the latter much longer than the calyx : galea with conspicuous and slender 

 incurved tip: anther-cells linear-lunate, mucronate-attenuate at base, glabrous. N. Cali- 

 fornia, near Yreka, Siskiyou Co., Greene. 



O. tenuifolius, Benth. More slender, taller, somewhat pubescent or hirsute : bracts 

 about half inch long, oblong or oval, partly purplish: corolla purplish, half inch long, 

 puberulcnt ; the tube little surpassing the calyx ; inflexed tip of galea minute and incon- 

 spicuous : anther-cells oblong, sparsely pubescent. Scroph. Ind. 12, & DC. I.e.; Gray, 

 Bot. Calif, i. 577. 0. I'mlm'catus, Torr. in Watson, Bot. King, 458. Bar/sin t< inti/oliii, Pursh, 

 Fl. ii. 420, oxcl. "flowers deep yellow," which must refer to 0. Inteiis. Dry ground, Mon- 

 tana to Brit. Columbia and south to the Sierra Nevada, California. 



* * Bracts herbaceous, not colored, less or little different from the leaves, all 3- (rarely 5-) cleft 

 and with acute lobes. 



H Spike dense or close, mostly many-flowered : seeds costate. 



O. bracteosus, Benth. 1. c. Hirsute-pubescent: stem strict, a foot or less high : leaves
