NEW OR NOTEWORTHY SPECIES. 101 
plane, mostly 2 to 23 inches long, linear-lanceolate: flowers 
on filiform spreading pedicels an inch long, this with the 
flower not equalling the floral leaves: calyx with venulose 
tube and triangular acute teeth broader at base than long: 
corolla rose-red, more than a 3 inch broad, with very short 
broad and open throat, this and the tube together scarcely 
longer than the lobes, the upper of these one-third shorter 
than the others, not strictly erect but even somewhat spread- 
ing like the others, all lightly pubescent and ciliolate: sta- 
mens distinetly exserted; filameuts very hirsute, anthers 
lessso. . 
Collected by the writer, on a sedgy river-bank, near Ridge- 
ville, Indiana, 24 Aug.,1899. Speciesallied to G. tenuifolia, 
but very distinet from it in floral character, and quite re- 
markable among true Gerardias for the length and breadth 
of its foliage; these giving a leafiness of aspect to the plant 
as a whole, such as none of its allies exhibit. (Plate XI.) 
ORTHOCARPUS CUsPIDATUS. Near O. imbricatus, which it 
resembles in size and habit, but the leaves elongated, cleft 
to below the middle into 3 narrowly linear lobes, or some 
entire and linear-attenuate: lowest bracts of the spike lance- 
olate to ovate, with or without a pair of short subhastate 
lobes at base, the others purple and chartaceous, oval, entire, 
obtuse, euspidately mucronate: corolla light-purple, large, 
much exceeding the bracts and the lip strongly inflated, the 
galea nearly straight. 
Ashland Butte, Siskiyou Mountains, southern Oregon, 18 
July, 1887, Thomas Howell; the specimens distributed for 
O. pachystachyus, but differing from that altogether in habit. 
foliage, inflorescence and floral characters, and equally dis- 
tinet from O. imbricatus. I believe that O. pachystachyus is 
not yet known except by the original specimens collected 
and distributed by myself in 1876, its locality being the 
plains of Shasta River in northern California.
