Plants 2-4 dm. tall, with many ascending branches, glandular-pubescent throughout. 

 Leaves linear or broadly linear, obtuse, those of the main stem mostly trifid; inflorescence of 

 1-3-flowered head-like clusters, subtended by several 3-lobed outer bracts (the segments obtuse 

 or rounded); flowering bract 11-12 mm. long, purplish (as is often the entire plant), oblong, 

 rounded; calyx 12-13 mm. long, purplish, lanceolate, slightly bidentate; corolla 15-16 mm. 

 long, inverted, purple, its upcurved throat seemingly decurved, horizontally flattened, mallow- 

 purple (or somewhat lighter) distally on the anterior exposed side, upper side of corolla glabrate 

 but with 2 fine lateral lines of pubescence, its galea ascending though seeming deflexed, prox- 

 imally wide, purple, laterally with wide pale membranous margins, its white tip slightly hooded, 

 lower side of corolla (actually in upper position) externally pubescent v«th reflexed-spreading 

 white hairs over the purple somewhat inflated surface, internally glabrous, the midlobe forming 

 a wide everted callose tip which is oil-yellow or else purple, the lateral lobes shorter and less 

 callose ; stamens 4, the anthers 2-celled but those of the shorter filaments smaller, the filaments 

 all bearded; capsule 7 mm. long. 



Gravelly calcareous soil, usually among junipers, Upper Sonoran Zone; New York Mountains in eastern 

 Mojave Desert, southeastern California, east to southern Utah and northern Arizona. Type locality: Grand

Plants 2-3 dm. tall, with many spreading branches, loosely pubescent with glandless hairs 

 on stem, more glandular distally and on foliage. Leaves linear or narrowly linear, obtuse, those 

 of the main stem mostly with a pair of lobes and the lower with subtended leafy fascicles, those 

 of the branches entire, few and remote; inflorescence of 2^-flowered head-like clusters, sub- 

 tended by several obtuse or acutish outer bracts, each with a pair of divaricate short linear- 

 attenuate lobes; flowering bract 11-12 mm. long, purple (pale with dark ridge-lines), oblong, 

 acutish ; calyx 8-9 mm. long, purplish, lanceolate, at apex bifid, the lance-attenuate lobes 2 mm. 

 long; corolla 11-12 mm. long, erect, straight or nearly so, purple, its throat moderately 

 inflated, its galea narrow, dorsally finely pubescent and dark purple, the decurved apex con- 

 nected evenly with the wide pale membranous margins, its lower lip usually slightly shorter 

 than upper, slightly pouched, externally pubescent over entire width with reflexed-spreading 

 hairs, yellowish, with glabrous slightly everted tip (of lowermost lobe) ; stamens 2 (only the lower 

 pair present), the filaments glabrous, distally with widened decurved portion, the anthers 1-celled,
