 1% in. or less long, about % in. wide, entire or nearly so. 

 Calyx-lobes sharp-pointed. Corolla white and blue, scarcely 

 exceeding the calyx. — In moist soil of Yosemite and other 

 low valleys. 



3. C. tdrreyi Gray. Stem 6 in. or less high, with spreading 

 branches above the erect simple base, viscid-glandular above, 

 the slender-pediceled flowers in successive whorls of 3 to 6. 

 Leaves linear-lanceolate, narrow at base, entire, seldom over 

 2 in. long. Calyx-lobes short, obtuse. Corolla deep blue, fully 

 54 in. long, much exceeding the calyx. — Common in the pine 

 belt; the type locality given as "Mariposa Big Tree Grove 

 and near Donner Lake." 



4. C. wrightii Wats. Similar but smaller. Calyx-lobes 

 acute. Corolla blue, the upper lip yellowish. — Glacier Point
