SOME CASTILLEIAS OF THE PARVIFLORA GROUP. 49 



exserted corollas resemble in inflorescence C. affinis. They may be 

 distinguished from that species, however, by their broader cleft leaves, 

 subequally cleft calyx, and smaller included lip. 



Var. abbreviata. Plant resembling var. Bradburii: stems 2 

 dm. high, rather more pubescent below: leaves mostly obovate or 

 ovate-oblong, the largest 2.5 cm. long, with 5 to 9 short ascending 

 fmostly blunt lobes well above the middle: calyx equaling the leaf- 

 like bracts, 15 to 20 mm. long, the linear-oblong segments with 

 rounded tips: corolla about 2 cm. long. — Cliffs at 1,500 m., Olym- 

 pic Mts., Washington, Aug. , 1895 (C. V. Piper, No. 2175). Possibly 

 only a reduced small-flowered state of the last. 



*** Stems viscid-glandular, with some additional spreading hairs. 



-i- Leaves mostly lobed. 



++ Corolla about 2 cm. long, the galea much shorter than the tube. 



C. Breweri. Stems very slender, clustered, 1.5 dm. high, 

 minutely and sparsely glandular-pilose throughout: leaves thickish, 

 1 or 2 cm. long, pilose-hispid; the lowest lanceolate, entire, the 

 upper lanceolate to obovate-lanceolate, divided near the middle into 

 3 lance-attenuate divaricate lobes: inflorescence at first short and 

 dense, the apparently magenta bracts similar to the upper leaves, 

 the lobes ascending: calyx 15 mm. long, subequally cleft before and 

 behind, the segments broadly lanceolate, acutish or blunt: galea 

 short-exserted, scarcely half as long as the corolla-tube; lip very 

 short, scarcely 1 mm. long, with broadly deltoid subequal lobes : 

 capsule hardly 1 cm. long. — On Mt. Dana, California, at 3,060 to 

 3,360 m, 1863 (W. H. Brewer, No. 1744). 



++++ Corolla nearly 3 cm. long, the long exserted galea about equaling 

 the tube. 



C. Applegatei. Stems few from an elongated perennial root, 

 decumbent at base, densely glandular and with long spreading hairs: 

 leaves lanceolate or obovate-lanceolate, 2.5 to 4 cm. long; the lowest 

 entire, the others 3 or 5-cleft, mostly to below the middle, into 

 lanceolate or linear bluntish ascending lobes; all densely covered 

 with glands, and with some spreading soft hairs, especially on the 

 margins: racemes dense, becoming 8 or 9 cm. long: bracts similar 

 in outline to the leaves, scarlet: calyx scarlet, 17 or 18 mm. long, 

 the linear segments acutish ; the upper three-fourths of the slender
