sweet-aromatic ; with oblong or ohlanceolate mostly entire leaves, narrowed into a 

 petiole ; flowers mostly crowded and interrupted spicate ; bracts and calyx liireute- 

 ciliate, the teeth of the latter mostly 3-nerved; the corolla blue or purplish. — Benth. 

 Lab. 414. 



§ 1. Stamens all four viith antJiers : style conspicuously bearded above, and its subulate 

 lobes almost equal : corolla (6 to 9 lines long) tubular-funnel/orm, the tube 

 stirpassing the calyx {calyx-teeth variable). 



* Flower-clnsters densely crowded into an oblont; or cylindrical spike, which is con- 

 spicuously white-hirsute tvith the long and stiff ciliate hairs of the bracts and 

 calyx. 



1. F. Douglasii, Benth. Rather stout, a span to a foot high: leaves oblong, 

 spatulate, or oblanceolate, veiny, sometimes sparingly toothed: spikes dense : bracts 

 linear, acute : lower divisions of the calyx twice or thrice the Icngtli of tlie tube 

 and much longer and narrower than the others : corolla half to throe fourtlis of an 

 inch long, blue, or sometimes purplish. — Hook. Bot. Mag. t. 588G. P. muUiJhra, 

 Benth. Lab. kc, a smaller form with rather shorter bracts. 



Open and shady grounds, throughout the western part of tlio State and into tlio foot-liills of the 

 Sierra Nevada. 



2. P. parviflora, Benth. More slender, 5 to 8 inches high : leaves narrower : 

 spike shorter : bracts mostly obtuse : divisions of the calyx rather broad, the lower 

 hardly longer and the upper shorter than its tube : corolla barely half an inch long.

* * Whorl-like flower-clusiers more or less di.siant : bracts and calyx sparsely and 



rather slightly hirsnte-ciliate. 



3. P. nudiuscula, Gray. A span to a foot higli, with slender puberulont 

 branches : leaves spatulate or linear-spatulate, obtuse (an inch or less in length), 

 glabrous : bracts linear-subulate and cuspidate : corolla half an inch long, twice the 

 length of the calyx : anthers of the posterior stamens usually smaller than the 

 others, but polliniferous. 



Near San Diego, 7). Cleveland. Calyx-loboa lancoolato-anlmlato or linear-sulnilate, in the later 

 flowers nil twlco or thrlco tl>o length of the tube, but in mmio of tlio earlier onoH little longer than 

 the tul)o. 



§ 2. Upper stamen sterile: style sparingly hairy, its lobes very xinequal : flowers 

 small. — IIedeomoides, Gray. 



« Tube of the corolla slender and manifestly exceeding the calyx, 4 or 5 lines long : 

 inflorescence capitate. 



4. P. tenuiflora, Gray. A span or less in height, pubcrulent or at the summit 

 pubescent, corymbosely branched or simple : leaves spatulate or obovate, their peti- 

 oles and the narrow bracts slightly and sparsely and somotiines not at nil hriatly- 

 ciliate : calyx-lobes unequal, linear-lanceolate, about half the length of the filiform 

 tube of the corolla : sterile filaments tipped with a small capitate gland. — Proc. 

 Am. Acad. xi. 100.

 * * Corolla at most 2 lines long, little if at ail surpassing the calyx. 



5. P. ziziphoroides, Benth. Stems 2 to inches high : leaves ovate or oval, 

 thickish ; the iloral with the rigid narrow bracts and the calyx hirsute-ciliate with 

 strong white hairs : inflorescence capitate or spicate, sometimes interrupted, or with 

 a few solitary flowers in the lower axils : calyx-lobes .slightly unp(|ual, broadly lan- 

 ceolate, very acute, hardly twice the length of the tube, the longer equalling the
