Herbage green. 



Stems glandular-villous. 2. C. martini. 



Stems minutely and sparsely puberulent. 3. C. calif ornica. 



Herbage white-woolly throughout. 4. C.foliolosa. 



1. C. stenanthe Gray. Stems mostly simple, erect, 3-6 dm. 

 high, pubescent and somewhat viscid throughout; leaves linear- 

 lanceolate, entire, the upper with red linear tips which become 

 spirally coiled; flowers scattered in a loose raceme, short-pedicelled; 

 calyx wholly green, about equally cleft before and behind to near 

 the middle; the segments lanceolate and acute or acutely 2-cleft 

 at the apex; corolla about 3 cm. long; galea usually reddish, slightly 

 falcate, a half longer than the tube; capsule oblong. 



Frequent in all our mountains along streams in moist places. 

 May-August. 



2. C. martini Abrams. Stem rather slender, branching from 

 near the somewhat woody base, decumbent at base, the branches 

 ascending, villous and viscid throughout; lower leaves linear or 

 broadly linear, 2.5-3 cm. long, the upper mostly somewhat broader, 

 divided to near the middle into 3 lobes, the 2 lateral lobes spreading, 

 narrower than the middle one; bracts similarly lobed, somewhat 

 dilated, scarlet-tipped; racemes narrow and rather loose, 1-2 dm. 



long; calyx 14-16 mm. long, cleft nearly to the middle behind, 

 scarcely as deep in front, the segments broadly lanceolate, 2-toothed, 

 the teeth less than 2 mm. long, the anterior one much the shorter; 

 galea reddish in front, 1 cm. long, equaling or slightly exceeding the 

 tube; capsule acute, 1 cm. long. 



Common on dry ridges and slopes in all our mountains, confined 

 mostly to the chaparral belt. April-August. 



3. C. californica Abrams. Stems slender, fragile, branched 

 from a scarcely woody base, erect, more or less branched above, 

 4-5 dm. high, sparsely and minutely puberulent; upper cauline 

 leaves linear, remotely and obscurely denticulate or entire, 2-4 cm. 

 long, 2-3 mm, broad, obtuse, with short slender leafy branchlets 

 in their axils; inflorescence at first viscid-pubescent, becoming 

 nearly glabrous, 1-2 dm. long; bracts red or red-tipped, about 2 cm. 

 long, 3-4 mm. broad, entire or rarely with 1 or 2 very short lateral 

 teeth toward the apex; calyx about 2.5 cm. long, cleft about equally 

 before and behind, the lobes 1 cm. long, cleft at the apex, the teeth 

 lanceolate, 3-4 mm. long, acute; corolla 2.5-3 cm, long, galea about 

 three-fourths the length of the tube, green on the back, the face 

 bright red, the tube greenish-yellow. 



Occasional in dry washes and fans in the interior valleys. 



4. C. foliolosa H. & A. Suffrutescent with many stems from the 

 base, 3-4 dm. high, white woolly throughout; leaves linear and 

 entire, rather crowded below and fascicled in the lower axils, 3 cm. 

 long or less; the uppermost and bracts 3-parted into linear lobes; 

 bracts with lobes spatulate-dilated at apex, the middle lobe largest, 

 shallowly 3-lobed; spikes rather dense; flowers about 18 mm. long, 

 galea only slightly exceeding the calyx, shorter than or as long as 

 the tube; calyx-lobes truncate or retuse; capsule about 1.5 cm. long. 



Frequent on dry hillsides in the foothills.
