lobed with mucronate or obtuse lobes, 2-6 cm. wide at base, 2-5 cm. long. 

 Flowers chiefly near the base, on long peduncles surpassing the leaves, often 

 upwardly curving, 5-8 cm. long ; bracts similar to the upper leaves, close 

 under the flower, i cm. wide, 1.5 cm. long. Sepals ovate-oblong, unequal 

 in breadth but of the same length, hairy with appressed hairs except on the 

 membranous margins of the inner ones, mucronate, 14 mm. long, the broad- 

 est 10 mm. wide. Corolla yellowish white, hairy on the angles and at their 

 tips, 4 cm. long. Stamens with narrow sagittate anthers, 7 mm. long ; fila- 

 ments hairy below, attached to the corolla for half their length. Style as 

 long as the stamens (2.5 cm.), with ovate-lanceolate stigmas, 3 mm. long, 



1 mm. wide. 



This beautiful species comes nearest to C. villosus Gray, 

 from which it differs in the bracts, peduncles, and stamens, 

 also in the broader leaves and longer peduncles. The 

 pubescence is less velvety. It is also near C. tomentellus 

 Greene, from which it differs in almost the same organs. 



Collected at Millwood by the author, July, 1893 and 

 1899, also near Converse Basin. The plant is named in 

 honor of Mr. S. L. Berry. 



y 6. Castilleia brooksii, sp. nov. 



Perennial, branching from the base, but with a few short branches above, 

 3 dm. high, glandular, viscid throughout and with a pubescence of uneven, 

 silvery, weak, jointed hairs. Leaves sessile, linear-oblong, entire to three- 

 lobed, about 2 cm. long, less than 5 mm. wide; lobed leaves generally 

 subtending the branches, the divided portion half the length. Branchlets 

 terminated by short, compact spikes, with subsessile flowers; bracts variously 

 and unevenly lobed, with the tips colored. Calyx a little longer than the 

 corolla tube, obliquely gibbous at base, equally cleft before and behind, with 

 divisions shorter than the tube, each two-cleft, with unequal, triangular-sub- 

 ulate, one-nerved, obtuse divisions, 3 mm. long. Corolla 2.5 cm. long; galea 

 longer than the tube, straight at first but later curving outwards, having three 

 blunt teeth at apex, the middle one smallest; lower lip truncate, 3 mm. long, 



2 mm. wide, the sharply acute teeth incurved, folds noticeable. Stamens 

 exserted, with filaments smooth and anthers narrowly linear, with unequal 

 cells. Ovary glabrous, obliquely acuminate; stigma clavate, exserted from 

 the top of the galea. 



This comes under the group to which belong C. farvijlora 

 Bongard, and C. miniata Douglas, with neither of which it 

 agrees. The flowers are yellowish red but probably vari- 

 able in color, as in most species of this genus. 



Collected by the author on the trail up Bubbs Creek, 

 early in July, 1899, and named in honor of Mr. Benjamin 

 Brooks.
