short ; bracts unevenly lobed, with colored tips. Calyx equally 

 cleft before and behind, the divisions shorter than the tube, each 

 2-cleft with unequal, triangular, i-nerved, obtuse divisions. 

 Corolla a little more than an inch long, with the upper lip longer 

 than the tube, straight at first but later curving outwards, hav- 

 ing 3 blunt teeth at top ; lower lip with the sharply acute teeth 

 incurved. The flowers are yellowish-red. On the trail up Bubbs

Castilleia disticha Eastwood. Perennial, 2 ft. or more high, 

 branching from the base and with spreading branches above, 

 somewhat viscid and pubescent with white hairs. Leaves linear, 

 sessile. Flowers in spikes that become nearly a foot long, with 

 the pods appressed to the stem, more or less distant, in two 

 ranks. Divisions of the calyx and bracts colored at tip. Corolla 

 red, with the upper lip as long as the tube, notched at apex ; 

 lower lip 3-toothed, the middle tooth much smaller than the 

 lateral, thin. Converse Basin, Millwood, under the conifers. 



There are several species of low, Alpine Castilleias, only one of 

 which has been collected in sufficient quantity for satisfactory 

 determination and description. It is desirable that they be col- 

 lected at di0"erent stages and in all localities where they may be 

 noted. 



Pedicularis Qroenlandica Retz. Stems tall, simple, smooth. 

 Leaves pinnately parted, lanceolate in outline, inch or two long, 

 on short petioles, the divisions sharply toothed. Flowers in 

 spikes 1-6 inches long, sessile. Calyx 5-toothed, much shorter 

 than the capsule. Corolla red-purple, curved and ending in a 

 long, slender, upwardly curved beak, the whole resembling an 

 elephant's head and trunk ; lower lip with 3 spreading divisions. 

 Stamens 4, with oblong anthers not deeply arrow-shaped at base, 

 filaments smooth. Capsule wnth the sides unequal, beaked by 

 the base of the style, about % inch long. This is common in 

 swampy places near timber line. East Lake and Bubbs Creek. 



Pedicularis attolens Gray. Somewhat like the preceding but 

 with narrower leaves and more sharply toothed divisions. Stems 

 6 in. to 2 ft. high. Spike densely flowered, clothed with white wool. 

 Calyx with recurved hooked teeth shorter than the woolly tube. 

 Corolla somewhat like the preceding but with the beak not so 

 long, the lower lip broad, 3-lobed. Stamens with baggy anthers, 

 as long as the slender smooth filaments, included in the hood with 

 the style extending through the beak. Capsule longer than the
