MEMOIRS OF THE NEW YORK BOTANICAL GARDEN. 355 



linear-lanceolate, 3-10 cnr. long, 3-nerved, more or less glandular- 

 hirsute, only the upper floral ones tipped with scarlet ; flowers 

 pedicellate, about 2 cm. long; calyx ovoid-cylindric, somewhat 

 gibbous at the base, more deeply cleft above than below, equalling 

 or more often a little exceeding the yellow corolla, the lobes linear-lan- 

 ceolate, acuminate; corolla cylindric, the galea rather broad, about 

 half as long as the tube, the lip small and with rather narrow sub- 

 equal lobes. 



Nearest related to C. minor, and has been included in that 

 species by most authors. That species differs, however, in the 

 much more slender stem, the lower portion of which is almost glab- 

 rous or merely puberulent, not hirsute, and of a very light color; in 

 the very remote lower flowers ; in the calyx, which is almost always 

 shorter than the corolla and scarcely deeper cleft above than below ; 

 and in the broader lateral lobes of the lip. 



Ranges from Nevada to Wyoming and Montana, while the range 

 of C. minor is from New Mexico to Southern California and 

 Mexico. The following specimens have been examined : 



Montana: Helena, 1888, 7^. D. Kelsev ; Warm Springs, 1892, 

 Kelsey ; Missouri River, 1883, Scrihner, 795, 



Yellowstone Park : Mammoth Hot Springs, 1884, Tweedy, ^2. 



Wyoming: Ft. Washakie, 1894, A. Nelson, 144. 



Utah: 1874, C. C. Parry, 1^4.; Cache Co., 1890, C. K. Dodge. 



Nevada: Ruby Valley, 1868, S. Watso7i, 8og (type). 



*Castilleja Crista-galli. 



Perennial, wdth a woody caudex, about 4 dm. high, finely pilose 

 throughout, and somewhat villous on the upper parts ; lower leaves 

 linear or linear-lanceolate, 5-8 cm. long, 3-nerved, divaricate or 

 somewhat reflexed, the upper broader, ovate or oblong, often divided 

 at the end into 3—5 oblong-linear divisions, those of the spike beauti- 

 full}^ coccineous ; calyx 2-2.5 cm. long, green at the base, coccine- 

 ous at the top, cleft on the lower side about two-thirds way down, on 

 the upper scarcely one-half ; corolla about 3.5 cm. long, usually some- 

 what curved and protruding through the lower slit of the calyx, green 

 and tinged with red, especially on the margins of the galea, the latter 

 nearly 1.5 cm. long, the lip about 5 mm. long, dark green, its lobes 

 rather broad. 



Resembles somewhat C. linearifolia in the size of the flowers, 

 the color and the lower leaves. The calyx is much larger, almost 

 three-fourths the length of the corolla, and is less crimson than in 

 that species. The upper leaves are also much broader, and more
