hairs. Calyx 8-14 mm. long, the lobes ovate, obtuse to acute, ob- 

 scurely lobed, lanose-pubescent. Corolla: the posterior lip 3-4 mm. 

 long the two lobes united nearly to apex (so strongly hooded, with 

 shallow median orifice) ; anterior lip 20-25 mm. long, 10-12 mm. 

 wide, with orifice opening about one-third of its length; sac upcurv- 

 ing toward hood, the orifice opening externally; externally glandular- 

 pruinose, within slightly pubescent at base on anterior side. Fila-

 the sacs broadly contiguous, opening throughout and through the 

 thin connective. Style 1.5 mm. long. Capsule 5-6 mm. long, 

 broadly globose-pyramidal, obtuse, thick-walled, puberulent with 

 gland-tipped hairs. Seeds .5 mm. long, oblong, distally acute, 

 finely ridged, brown.

 long, the blades triangular ovate, cordate, acuminate, irregularly 

 dentate with acute lobes 3^ cm. long, 2.5-3 cm. wide; each on a 

 wingless petiole 10-20 mm. long; blades above green, pubescent, 

 beneath lighter green and moderately pubescent, without sessile 

 glands; petiole pubescent, some hairs gland-tipped. Corymb leafy- 

 bracted at base, its secondary branches becoming much branched. 

 Peduncles and pedicels hirsute with gland-tipped hairs. Calyx 

 10-12 mm. long, the lobes ovate, acuminate, entire, hirsute-pubes- 

 cent. Corolla: the posterior lip 4 mm. long, the two lobes united 

 nearly to apex (so strongly hooded, with shallow median orifice) ; 

 anterior lip about 10 mm. long, with orifice opening less than ^ of 

 length; sac upcurving toward hood, the orifice opening externally, 

 externally glandular-pruinose, within somewhat pubescent at base.
