SCROPHULARIACE^}. 23 



bract villous: calyx deeply cleft anteriorly; galea of the 

 corolla shorter than the tube. 



Border of a meadow, at Jack's Cabin, 7 July, n. 616. The 

 collector notes that he saw but one plant, but does not men- 

 tion the occurrence of other species of the genus in that 

 vicinity. That the bracts and calyx are cream-colored, 

 instead of crimson, is one of several hints given in the 

 aspect of the plant, of a possibly hybrid parentage between 

 C. linaridefolia and C. septentrionalis. 



PENTSTEMON TEUCRIOIDES. Suffrutescent, low, the slender 

 tufted stems erect, 2 to 5 inches high, leafy throughout and 

 floriferous from below the middle, the whole herbage ciner- 

 eous-pubescent: leaves spatulate-linear, entire, almost pun- 

 gently acute, less than J inch long, usually exceeding the 

 interned es : flowers 5 or more in each subcapitate and short- 

 pedicelled glomerule, all forming as it were a secund raceme 

 along the upper one-half and more of the stem : segments 

 of the calyx subulate-lanceolate, acute, entire, wholly herba- 

 ceous: narrow and strongly bilabiate deep-purple corolla 

 about | inch long, glabrous ; sterile filament bearded 

 almost from the base with orange-yellow hairs ; anthers 

 glabrous. 



Collected at Sapinero, 19 June; said to be common there, 

 on dry ground, n. 186. The specimens are not well in 

 flower ; and the aspect of the plant, particularly as to its 

 inflorescence, is singularly like that of a Teucrium. 



PENTSTEMON PROCUMBENS. Suffrutescent, low and rather 

 slender, the older and more woody parts of the branches 

 prostrate and rooting, the leafy and floriferous parts assur- 

 gent, the whole 6 to 10 inches long; branchlets retrorsely 

 puberulent, as also the pedicels and calvx. uut leaves green
