MOUNT RAINIER 



Mimulus breweri (Greene) Rydberg. 

 (Eunanus breweri Greene.) 



A minute species with pale purple flowers, abundant on dry 

 cliffs near " Camp of the Clouds." 



Mimulus alpinus (Gray) Piper. 



(M. luteus alpinus Gray.) 



(Af. scouleri caespitosus Greene.) 



A dwarf plant with matted stolons, the bright yellow flowers 

 painting the cliffs wherever there is dripping water. The Mount 

 Rainier plants match closely the original types collected by Dr. 

 Parry in Wyoming, so that Professor Greene's name is clearly a 

 synonym of the earlier one of Gray. 



Veronica alpina Linnaeus. 



A small plant two or three inches high, with several pairs of 

 small, ovate, pubescent leaves, and a terminal raceme of small blue 

 flowers. Common at 4,500 to 5,500 feet altitude. 



Veronica cusickii Gray. 



A very similar plant to the above, but with larger blue flowers 

 and smooth leaves. Abundant just above " Camp of the Clouds." 



Veronica allenii Greenman. 



Much like the preceding species, but with smaller white flowers. 

 A new species discovered by Allen " near Paradise River at 5,400 

 feet elevation." 



Castilleja miniata Douglas. 



This vivid scarlet " Painted Cup " or " Indian Pink " is easily 

 known by its entire leaves. Not infrequent at 5,000 to 6,000 feet ; 

 also occurring at lower altitudes down to sea-level. 



Castilleja angustifolia hispida (Bentham) Fernald. 

 Very similar to the last, but the flower spikes shorter and the 

 leaves cut-lobed. Bear Prairie, Allen. 



Castilleja rupicola Piper. 



Like the last, but smaller, the leaves usually purplish and deeply 

 cut, the flowers intensely scarlet and with very long beaks. On 

 the cliffs on both sides of Sluiskin Falls, whence the original speci- 

 mens were obtained. 



Castilleja oreopola Greenman. 



The common species of the grassy slopes, the flowers reddish- 

 purple or occasionally white. 



Pedicularis bracteosa Bentham. 



A tall " lousewort," with fern-like leaves and a long terminal 

 spike of greenish-white flowers. Frequent in wet places up to 

 5,500 feet altitude.
