 pedunculate spike somewhat pilose : stem 1 to 3 feet high : divisions of the leaves to 2 

 inches long, linear-lanceolate : bracts ovate, acuminate, shorter than the flowers : calyx- 

 lobes slender-subulate, equalling the tube : corolla less than inch long, narrow, pale yellow; 

 galea much longer and larger than the lip, its cucullate summit slightly produced at the 

 entire edentulate orifice, but not rostrate. Hook. Fl. &, DC. 1. c. P. recutita, Pursh, Fl.

P. procera, Gray. Puberulent : stem robust, li to 4 feet high : leaves pinnately divided 

 into lanceolate (1 to 3 inches long) and irregularly pinnatifid segments, or the uppermost 

 deeply pinnately parted; lobes mueronately serrate or incised: bracts lanceolate, caudate- 

 acuminate, mostly longer than the flowers, serrate or denticulate, or the upper entire : 

 spike 8 to 15 inches long: calyx-lobes lanceolate or subulate, much shorter than the tube : 

 corolla about an inch and a half long, sordid yellowish and greenish-striate ; galea hardly 

 longer than the ample lip ; its broad cucullate summit slightly incurved, hardly at all 

 extended at the orifice, the lower angle with a short triangular tooth on each side : capsule 

 broadly ovate. Am. Jour. Sci. ser. 2, xxxiv. 251. Low or wooded grounds of the Rocky 

 Mountains in Colorado and New Mexico, at 8 or 9,000 feet. Leaves more compound, 

 the bracts and calyx-lobes longer, and corolla larger than in the allied Siberian P. striata,

= ==== Rocky-Mountain-alpinc: stem few-leaved, only a span or so high. 



P. SCOpulorum. Glabrous, except the arachnoid-lanate dense oblong spike : calyx-teeth 

 triangular-subulate, entire, membranaceous, very much shorter than the tube : galea of 

 the reddish-purple (three-fourths inch long) corolla with its somewhat produced apex 

 obliquely truncate, edentulate or produced on each side into an obscure triangular tooth : 

 otherwise as the following. P. Sudetica, var., Gray in Am. Jour. I.e. Colorado Rocky 

 Mountains, at 12 to 14,000 feet, Parry, Hall & Harbour, &c. 



== = = = Arctic-alpine, in America only in high northern regions. 

 a. Galea falcate-incurved and with somewhat produced bidentulate summit. 



P. Sudetica, Willd. Glabrous, or the spike commonly hirsute-villous or lanate : stem a 

 span high, few-leaved: leaves simply pinnately-parted ; divisions lanceolate, incisely ser- 

 rate or crenate; the teeth somewhat cartilaginous: spike dense, mostly short: calyx- 

 teeth lanceolate or linear, little shorter than the tube, serrulate: corolla purple (9 or 10 

 lines long) ; galea longer than the erose-crenulate lobes of the lip; the tooth at the lower 

 side of truncate apex on each side conspicuous and cuspidate, sometimes shorter and 

 triangular-acuminate. Spec. iii. 203; Stev. Monogr. 44, t. 15; Reichenb. Iconogr. iv.

 Lawrence Islands, c. (Adjacent Arctic Asia, N. Siberia to Lapland, E. Alps.) 



b. Galea less falcate or straightish, with rounded-obtuse summit not at all produced anteriorly, yet 

 sometimes bidentulate: calyx 5-toothed: capsule acuminate, usually double the length of the 

 (.ilyx: spike dense, its evolution according to Maximowicz centrifugal or nearly coetaneous (but 

 this hardly :tpparent), except in true P. Langsdorffii. 



P. Langsdorffii, Fiscll. Stem stout, glabrous below, at base bearing numerous leafless 

 brown scales, 3 to 8 inches high, including the at length elongated leafy-bracteate more or 

 less hirsute or lanate spike : leaves pectinately pinnatifid or the radical parted into small 

 oblong denticulate lobes : bracts mostly like the upper leaves : calyx-teeth or most of 

 them denticulate: corolla rose-color or purple (rarely yellowish, 9 or 10 lines long), with 

 oblong-linear somewhat falcate galea longer than the lip, commonly with a slender tooth on 

 each side below the apex : filaments all or one pair more or less pilose above : capsule 

 gladiate-lanceolatc. Stev. Monogr. 49, t. 9, fig. 2; Hook. Fl. ii. 109; Ledeb. Fl. Ross. iii.
