Pedicularis semibarbata Qray. Stems low, i-several, from 

 a tap-root, lowest leaves underground, scale-like, the others twice 

 pinnately divided, the divisions sharply toothed, the petioles gen- 

 erally shorter than the blades, together 4-6 inches long, 1-3 

 inches wide, smooth except for some scattered woolly hairs. 

 Spikes verj' short, sessile, much surpassed by the leaves ; bracts 

 leaf-like, often almost twice as long as the flowers. Pedicels very 

 short. Cal}-x somewhat clothed with cottony wool, 5-cleft into 

 unequal, triangular-acuminate lobes as long as the tube, with the 

 apex recurved. Corolla yellowish, tinged with purple, inch or 

 less long, the tube almost as long as the calyx ; upper lip shaped 

 like a hood, lower with rounded spreading lobes, the middle one 

 longest, hairy without and within. Stamens in two pairs, with 

 the anthers united, arrow-shaped at base, rounded at apex, the 

 pointed bases together with the disk-like stigma projecting be- 

 yond the upper lip, the latter curving downward from the top.

 lobe of the lower. Capsule slightly surpassing the calyx, split-
