mountains io Oregon and California. Very variable. The typical form, Var.

Pentstemon brevifloeus, Benth. Gra^/, I. c, p. 57. SulFruticose, 
branched, 3-6° high, glabrous; leaves coriaceous, 1-2' long, hnear or oblong- 
lanceolate with a narrowed base, sharply serrulate ; inflorescence panicled, 
the peduncles several-flowered ; sepals ovate, acuminate, glabrous or glandular- 
hirsute ; corolla more or less glandular-bearded externally, yellow with a 
tinge of purple, deeply bilabiate and ringent, with the lips equaling or longer 
than the very short tube ; anther-cells divergent, adnate above, dehiscent the 
whole length and becoming expanded, glabrous, as also the sterile filament. — 
California, and collected by Anderson (136) near Carson City, Nevada. 
Pentstemon glaber, Pursh. Gray, L c, p. 59. Very glabrous ; leaves 
usually glaucous, sessile, entire, the cauline lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate ; 
flowers large, in a thyrsoid panicle ; sepals broadly ovate, submembranous 
upon the margin, obtuse or more or less pointed ; corolla bright-purple, widely 
dilated above, the limb shortly 2-lol>ed, with the lobes rounded and spreading 
equally ; anthers loosely hairy or glabrous, the divaricate cells dehiscent from 
the base nearly to the summit, but not expanded ; sterile filament short- 
hirsute towards the apex, or glabrous. — From the Upper Missouri to Wash- 
ington Territory and south to New Mexico. The specimens accord nearly 
with Var. occidentalis, Gray, {P. .speciosus, Dough, ) having the anthers and 
sterile -filament glabrous and the leaves often narrow. Stems 6'-2° high, 
usually several from the same root, stout, with fleshy leaves 2—3' long and 
4—9" wide ; the numerous violet-purple flowers an inch or more in length. 
Washington Territory, (Douglas,) and Nevada, (Beckwith, Stretch.) Fre-

3—4' long, oblanceolate, ta2:)ering to the clasping base ; sepals ovate-acuminate, 
not at all membranous ; anthers and sterile filament hirsute. — Of very dis- 
tinct habit, and jjerhaps a good species. Uinta Mountains, (Pack's Canon,) 
Utah ; 7,000 feet altitude ; July. Imperfect specimens in Herb. Gray., col- 
lected by Burke in the mountains near Fort Hall, Southern Idaho, appear to 
be the same, though the flowers are smaller. (771.)
