FIGWORT FAMILY 789 



shorter than flowers or fruits; corolla 8-12 mm. long, the ample lower lip projecting far 

 beyond upper and decurved-recurved distally and laterally; stem erect, glabrous between 

 the lanulose crown and the inflorescence. 4. A. Coulterianum. 



Flowers scattered nearly whole length of stem, the lax inflorescence usually loosely glandular- 

 pubescent and often with foliose bracts; lower corolla-lip with lobes deflexed from the 

 prominent palate; stems more laxly ascending. 

 Nectar-pouch spur-like, deeper than wide and deflexed; corolla 10-12 mm. long, violet-reticu- 

 late, upper lip not exceeding the hirsute palate; uppermost sepal little larger than others; 

 stems erect, 2-S dm. tall, without tortile branches, the plant glandular-hirsute through- 

 out. 5. A. cornutum. 

 Nectar-pouch shallower than wide and not deflexed; corolla less obviously reticulate-veined; 

 uppermost usually about twice as wide or long as lower sepals; branches often tortile. 

 Corolla blue-violet, 10-15 mm. long; capsule longer than wide; stem glandular-hairy, at 

 least in inflorescence. 

 Width of corolla less than one-half length, the erect upper Jip scarcely longer than 

 diameter of orifice, and lower lobes little deflexed from the hirsute-villose 

 palate; sepals shorter than capsule, or the uppermost equaling or slightly 

 exceeding it; stem glandular-pubescent to base. 



6. A. Breweri. 



Width of the relatively larger corolla nearly or fully equaling its length, the erect 



upper lip longer than diameter of orifice, and lower lobes strongly deflexed 



from the pubescent palate; sepals all longer than capsule; stem proximally 



hirsute-pilose with glandless hairs. 7. A. vexillo-calyculatum. 



Corolla whitish, S-7 mm. long; capsule as wide as long; stem glabrous or nearly so above 



the lanulose base, but sepals and sometimes pedicels minutely glandular-pubescent. 



8. A. Kingii. 



Leaf-blades less than twice as long as wide, rounded to subcordate at base and usually rounded at apex; 

 stem glandular-pubescent to -hirsute, floriferous throughout, the bracts foliose and the branches some- 

 what prehensile. 

 Sepals similar, lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate, the uppermost 4-5 mm. long, the others 2-3 mm. long; 

 corolla violet-blue, 8-10 mm. long, with palate closing the orifice; pedicels 3-20 mm. long. 



9. A. Nuttallianutn. 



Sepals dissimilar, the uppermost 10-12 mm. long and rounded, the others 6-8 mm. long, lanceolate with 

 acute or attenuate tips; pedicels 1-3 mm. long. 

 Corolla 13-16 mm. long, its orifice closed by the wide pubescent palate; bracts divaricately spread- 

 ing, much-exceeded by the many slender few-leaved flexuous branchlcts. 



10. A. subcordatum. 



Corolla 22-23 mm. long, its orifice not closed by the glabrous palate, the upper lip pink, the lower 

 white; bracts ascending, the ascending branches floriferous and somewhat flexuous, normally 

 leafy. 11. A.ovatum. 



1. Antirrhinum majus L. Garden Snapdragon. Fig. 4768. 



Antirrhinum majus L. Sp. PI. 617. 1753. 



Plant glabrous below the glandular-pubescent inflorescence. Flowers forming a close raceme, 

 the bracts little exceeding the pedicels which are erect and 5 mm. long; sepals alike, oval, 5-6 

 mm. long; corolla 35 mm. long, purple, with hairy yellow palate closing orifice to throat; 

 capsule 10-12 mm. long. 



Occasional escape from gardens, at least near Portland, Oregon. Naturalized from Europe. March-May. 



2. Antirrhinum virga A. Gray. Tall Snapdragon. Fig. 4769. 



Antirrhinum virga A. Gray, Proc. Amer. Acad. 7: 373. 1868. 



Plant perennial-rooted, branched at base, glabrous throughout, the simple or distally branched 

 wand-like stems 15-20 dm. tall. Leaves numerous, their sessile blades linear-lanceolate, 5-8 cm. 

 long; inflorescence a close raceme, with linear bracts that little exceed the pedicels that are 

 erect and 2-5 mm. long ; sepals lanceolate, sharply acute, the uppermost 6-7 mm. long, the lower 

 pair 5 mm. long; corolla 15 mm. long, externally glabrous and pale purple, internally pubescent 

 on lower side, its basal pouch forming a short pale spur as deep as long, its upper lip with 

 short upcurved pale-margined lobes, its lower lip with projecting bladdery-inflated white palate 

 from recurved apex of which depend the very short lobes, both lips soon shriveled and light 

 brown ; anthers orange-yellow ; capsule 6-7 mm. long, glabrous, the glabrous style becoming 

 much-deflexed ; seeds 1 mm. long, with many thin erose wings. 



Open gravelly places, chaparral. Upper Sonoran Zone; Mendocino County to Lake and Sonoma Counties, 

 central California. Type locality: California. June-July. 



3. Antirrhinum multiflorum Pennell. Withered Snapdragon. Fig. 4770.

 1811-13. 



Plant annual-rooted, glandular-hirsute, much-branched throughout, 6-9 dm. tall, the 

 numerous leaves oblong-lanceolate, acute to obtuse, 4-7 cm. long, narrowed to sessile bases. 

 Inflorescence a secund close raceme with lance-attenuate bracts about equaling pedicels plus 

 calyces, the erect pedicels becoming 2-4 mm. long ; sepals lanceolate, acute, the uppermost 9 mm. 

 long, the lower pair 6 mm. long; corolla 20 mm. long, externally glandular-pilose and pale 

 purple, internally pubescent on lower side, its basal pouch shallowly rounded and wider than 

 deep, its upper lip violet-purple with sagittally erect lobes, its lower lip with projecting yellowish
