 clustered, erect or ascending, 10-15 cm. high, puberulent or in the in- 

 florescence pilose; leaves sessile, oblong, obtuse, 3-nerved, hispidulous 

 and somewhat viscid especially on the margins, 1-2 cm. long, entire or

 loose, narrow, 5-10 cm. long; calyx 10 mm. or in fruit 12-13 mm. long, sub- 

 equally cleft before and behind, just equalling the corolla lip, the lobes each 

 with 2 short obtuse teeth; corolla 15-18 mm. long, the galea 8 mm. long, 

 slender, glandular puberulent on the back especially at tip, the broad 

 margin scarlet; lip green, fleshy, 2 mm. long, the acute teeth incurved;

Allied to C. angustifolia (Nutt.) Don, but differing in all its parts being 

 smaller, the short-lobed leaves, and the somewhat viscid hispidulous pubes- 

 cence. 



Castilleja chlorotica, n. sp. 



Perennial with a stout vertical taproot, several to many stems arising from 

 the crown; stems erect or nearly so, mostly simple, 15-20 cm. high, viscid 

 puberulent; leaves sessile, oblong-lanceolate, obtuse, about 2 cm. long, 

 minutely and very sparsely puberulent, mostly simple but some of the 

 upper ones 3-cleft; flowers subsessile; racemes 3-4 cm. long, at first dense, 

 becoming looser below; bracts all 3-cleft, the middle lobe broadest, acute 

 or obtuse, as long as the flowers; calyx yellowish green, 15 mm. long, 

 minutely puberulent on the tube, hispidulous on the lobes, subequally 

 cleft before and behind into lobes shorter than the tube, each lobe cleft 

 into two broad triangular acute teeth which extend well beyond the corolla 

 lip; corolla 2 cm. long; galea 8 mm. long, hispidulous on the back, greenish 

 except the narrow purple margin; lip 2 mm. long, green, fleshy, the lobes
