Annual herb, finely pubescent to glabrate, the stems erect or nearly so, 1-10 dm. tall. Leaf- 

 blades orbicular-ovate, irregularly and often saliently dentate to proximally dentate-lobed, 

 palmately veined, the lower 0.5-7 cm. long, rounded or cordate to petioles, the upper much 

 smaller; pedicels 5-35 mm. long, glandular-pubescent near base on upper side, elsewhere 

 glabrous or finely pubescent; calyx becoming 10-20 mm. long, strongly plicate-angled, usually 

 dark-dotted, its lobes very acute, the lower shorter and the lowest eventually upcurved about 

 90° so as to close against the lance-attenuate uppermost lobe which is Z-7 mrn. long; corolla 

 13-30 mm. long, yellow, the throat ventrally with 2 rounded upraised hairy ridges that unite 

 distally to form a prominent palate that closes the orifice, this ventral side deeper yellow, with 

 small brown spots and usually with a large maroon blotch on base of lowermost corolla-lobe, 

 lower lip with deflexed-spreading lobes, upper lip shorter and ascending; anthers glabrous. 

 Stigmas fimbriolate; capsule 5-10 mm. long, not dehiscing through septum-apex.

 pubescent ridges, lower lip with deflexed-spreading lobes, upper lip shorter and ascending;

 narrowed to petioles shorter than blades, the upper sessile ; pedicels becoming 20-50 mm. long, 

 finely pubscent with glandless hairs ; calyx becoming 15-20 mm. long, strongly plicate-angled, 

 its lobes acute, the lower shorter, the lowest pair upcurved toward or against the uppermost 

 which is 3-4 mm. long ; corolla 30-50 mm. long, yellow, the throat ventrally with 2 hairy and 

 brown-spotted ridges joined distally into a palate that only partially closes the orifice, lower
