50 ERYTHEA. 



green-backed galea exserted; the greenish lip about 2 mm. long, 

 deeply cleft into 3 subequal linear attenuate incurved lobes: capsule 

 glabrous, oblong, short-beaked, 1.5 cm. long. — Collected at the 

 summit of Mt. Scott (2,800 m.), Klamath Co., Oregon, Aug. 19, 

 1896 (Elmer I. Applegate, No. 87). 

 ■i—t- Leaves mostly entire or subent.it e. 



C. pinetorum. Stems slender, erect, 3 or 4 dm. high, less 

 glandular than the last, and with shorter less spreading hairs: leaves 

 oblong-linear, 3 to 5 cm. long, minutely pilose and glandular: 

 inflorescence narrow, the bracts and flowers at first much appressed 

 and ascending: lower bracts like the leaves, the upper becoming 

 cleft into 3 or 5 linear roseate or bright red segments: calyx about 

 18 mm. long, with lance-attenuate sharp segments: corolla about 

 26 mm. long; the narrow galea about equaling the tube; lip 1 mm. 

 high, the lateral narrowly deltoid lobes twice exceeding the middle 

 one. — In pine woods, Swan Lake Valley, Klamath Co., Oregon, 

 June 30, 1896 (Elmer I. Applegate, No. 415). A unique species 

 in this group, on account of its entire leaves. The flower structure, 

 however, places it here rather than in any neighboring group. 



The following species, hardly belonging to the parviflora group, 

 but apparently nearly related to it, seem to be well-marked plants. 



C. pruinosa. Whole plant cinereous with fine often stellate 

 pubescence: stems simple or very slightly branching above, slender, 

 2 to 3.5 dm. high: leaves 2 or 3 cm. long; the lowest linear, entire, 

 the upper lanceolate or oblong-lanceolate, subentire or slightly and 

 irregularly lobed: inflorescence rather slender, the bracts and 

 flowers at first ascending and appressed: bracts 3-lob^d above the 

 middle, scarlet above, exceeding the calyx, spreading in maturity : 

 calyx narrowly flask-shaped, 1 or 2 cm. long, equally cleft before 

 and behind, the lobes divided into broadly lanceolate acutish seg- 

 ments: corolla 23 to 27 mm. long; the galea barely equaling the 

 tube; lip very short, the 2 lateral broadly deltoid lobes exceeding 

 the middle one. — On rocky ridges, Swan Lake Valley, Klamath 

 Co., Oregon, June 8, 1896 (Elmer I. Applegate, No. 416). An 

 anomalous species, the subsimple stems suggesting an affinity with 

 the parviflora group, but in leaf and inflorescence much resembling
