■i— -1— Galea of the (short, half inch long) white corolla produced into a slender elongated-subu- 

 late circinate-incurved beak, nearly reaching the apex of the broad lower lip : calyx cleft in 

 front ; whole plant glabrous. 



P. contorta, Benth. A foot or less high, simple : leaves pinnately parted into linear 

 incisely serrate lobes ; the upper reduced to simpler small bracts : spike naked, cylindrical, 

 rather loosely many-flowered : galea with the slender beak almost circinate. — Hook. Fl. 

 ii. 108, & DC. 1. c. 575. — Mountains of Oregon and Idaho, Tolmie, Hat/den, &c. 



P. rac^mosa Dougl. A foot or so high, simple or sometimes branching, leafy to the

 flowers short-pedicelled, in a short leafy raceme or spike, or the lower in remote axils and 

 uppermost with bracts hardly surpassing the 2-toothed calyx : slender beak of galea 

 hamato-deflexed. — Hook. I.e., & DC. I.e. — Subalpine regions, British Columbia to N. 

 California, Utah, and Colorado. 



H— H^ H— Galea falcate and with a conical or thick-subulate beak, edentulate : leaves at least pin- 

 natifid : flower about half inch long. 



++ Stems more or less leafy, low: leaves simply piunntifid: corolla ochroleucous. 



P. Lapponica, L. Merely puberulent : stems clustered, a span or more high, leafy up 

 to the short close spike : leaves lanceolate, pinnatifid half way down in many and close 

 small oblong and incisely toothed lobes : calyx cleft in front, minutely 2-toothed behind : 

 galea erect, with abruptly incurved conical short beak. — Fl. Lapp. t. 4, fig. 1; Fl. Dan. 

 t. 2; Pursh, Fl. ii. 309. — Labrador and Arctic America: apparently uncommon. (Green-

P. Parryi, Gray. Glabrous, or the inflorescence slightly pubescent : stem a span or two 

 high, very leafy at base, slightly so above : leaves linear-lanceolate in outline, deeply pin- 

 nately parted; the divisions linear-lanceolate, acute (2 or 3 lines long), closely callous- 

 serrate ; uppermost leaves reduced to narrow linear bracts : spike dense, 1^ to 4 inches 

 long: calyx 5-toothed; the teeth entire: corolla ochroleucous or more yellow; galea
