This plant of Mr. Pratt’s collection, though it has to be referred to 
an already described species, is the most interesting Pedicularis he has 
found, and is, owing to its curious crest, one of the mest pr oetioagers 
forms in this ronsabegee genus. Pedicularis cranulopha is not the 
only species a crestea galea; the condition og in P. torta,
