484 Rydberg: Studies on the Rocky Mountain flora 



long; flowers mostly solitary; pedicels 1-4 cm. long; calyx nar- 

 rowly funnelform, strongly 5-angled; lobes nearly equal, lanceo- 

 late, about half as long as the tube; corolla crimson, 3-4 cm. long, 

 scarcely ventricose; anthers sparingly bearded. 



This is related to Mimulus cardinalis, to which Miss Eastwood 

 referred it with some hesitation. She also pointed out the low 

 habit and more sharply toothed leaves, but did not notice the 

 most striking feature of the plant, viz., its stolons, which are sent 

 out after blooming. By means of these the plant, growing as it 

 does in crevices of perpendicular or overhanging cliffs, can propa- 

 gate itself in every direction. Wherever a stolon touches the rock 

 and the root can get 'a foothold, a new plant is formed, even under 

 the overhanging rocks. In the latter case the plantlet formed will 

 be growing, the following year, with the roots up and the flowers 

 down.

Veronica Buxbaumii Tenore has been collected in Utah and V. 

 arvensis L. in Idaho. Veronica peregrina L. is not found in the 

 Rocky Mountain region. All specimens so named from there 

 belong to V. xalapensis H. B. K. Antirrhinum Cooperi A. Gray 

 and A. Kingii S. Wats, have both been collected in Utah; Mon- 

 niera rotundifolia Michx. in Montana; Gratiola ebracteata Benth. 

 in Montana and Idaho. 



Triphysaria hispida (Benth.) Rydb. 



Orthocarpus hispidus Benth. Scroph. Ind. 13. 1835. 



In the genus Cordylahthns [Adenostegia] Coulter & Nelson* 

 have transposed the color characters of the corolla of C. Wrightii 

 and C. ramosa. Adenostegia capitata (Nutt.) Greene has been 

 collected in Idaho and A. canescens is common around Great Salt 

 Lake. Cordylanthus bicolor A. Nels. is evidently the same as 

 Adenostegia ciliosa Rydb. 



Castilleja subcinerea Rydb. sp. nov. 



Perennial with a branched short caudex; stems 3-5 dm. high, 

 canescent-strigose, stout; leaves more or less canescent, strongly
