48 ERYTHEA. 



Potlatch River, Latah Co., Idaho, has yellowish bracts and the galea 

 a little shorter than in typical var. hispida (perhaps a transition to 

 C. pallida). 



Var. adenophora. Somewhat resembling var. hispida, the 

 stout densely pilose stems 2 or 3 dm. high: the blunt shorter leaves 

 densely covered with rather soft or somewhat scabrous short spread- 

 ing hairs: bracts bearing many small glands among the sordid 

 pilose pubescence: calyx barely 2 cm. long: corolla 2.5 cm. long, 

 the galea hardly equaling the tube. — Collected on " bald hills" near 

 Ashland, Jackson Co., Oregon, June 1, 1895 (Elmer I. Applegate, 

 No. 413). C. V. Piper's No. 2,798, from moist banks, Almota, 

 Washington, May 2, 1897, is a form between this and the var. 

 hispida. It has the leaves as in var. hispida, but the bracts are 

 somewhat glandular, though not so densely so as in Mr. Applegate's 

 plant. 



Var. Bradburii. Rather slender, 2 to 4 dm. high, simple or 

 often loosely branched ; the stems rather sparingly pilose or glabrate 

 below: leaves 1.5 to 5 cm. long, lanceolate or oblong-lanceolate, the 

 upper sometimes obovate, subcuneate at base, nearly all cleft above 

 the middle into 3 or 5 lobes; the middle one oblong or oblong- 

 lanceolate, blunt, the lateral linear-lanceolate, short, mostly ascend- 

 ing: calyx 2 to 3 cm. long, red or rarely yellow tipped, about 

 equaling the similarly colored bracts: corolla exceeding the calyx 

 by 5 to 10 mm., the galea hardly equaling the tube. — Euchroma

 burii, Don, Gen. Syst. iv. 616. — Specimens examined : Little God-
