Plants 4-8 dm. tall, with many ascending brandies, pubescent with fine glandless hairs and 

 also usually distally or throughout with gland-bearing hairs. Leaves linear (lower cauline 

 ones often widely so) to narrowly linear, entire, obtuse ; inflorescence a cluster of 1^ flowers,

 apex, both the outer and flowering bracts ciliate-hirsute ; flowering bract 14-16 mm. long, pale 

 yellowish green with dull purple ridges, lance-oblong, obtuse; calyx 15-17 mm. long, similarly 

 colored, narrowly lanceolate, bidentate at apex; corolla 14-15 mm. long, its throat horizontally 

 widened, dark purple, ventrally pale with median dark maroon-purple line, its galea glabrescent, 

 with minutely pubescent decurved beak which laterally connects with galea-body by pale yellow 

 wide membranous margins; its lower lip wider, slightly pouched, externally finely pubescent 

 but glabrous at apex, internally glabrous, white or pale greenish yellow with 5 dark maroon- 

 purple lines, distally with incurved margins; stamens 4, the anthers nearly alike and the 

 filaments all bearded; capsule 8 mm. long.

Plants 3-5 dm. tall, with diffusely ascending-spreading branches, the stem and the lower 

 leaf-surfaces glabrous or nearly so, the upper surfaces of the involute leaves pubescent, the 

 stems slightly glandular-pilose just beneath the inflorescences. Leaves filiform, entire, obtuse; 

 inflorescences of scattered solitary flowers, each subtended by several filiform-linear outer

 lance-oblong, obtuse; calyx 13-17 mm. long, lighter purple or mostly greenish, narrowly lanceo- 

 late, distally entire or nearly so; corolla 13-14 mm. long, its throat horizontally widened, 

 dorsally proximally with wide dark maroon-purple streaks of which the lateral extend distally, 

 its galea pale throughout, dorsally obscurely pubescent and yellowish-keeled distally, _ the 

 decurved tip yellow, laterally white and the thin margins minutely ciliate; its lower lip wider, 

 externally finely pubescent, internally glabrous, white with dark maroon-purple streaks, distally 

 channeled and with incurved obsolescently lobed margins that become abruptly everted and
