 pedicels sometimes as long as the calyx : corolla violet-purple, 5 or 6 lines long ; its upper

 upper floral reduced to subulate-linear bracts : whorls about 6-flowered : pedicels filiform, 

 longer than the flowers : throat of the corolla equalling the calyx-lobes ; the ample lower 

 lip bright blue ; the upper white or purplish ; lobes barely emarginate : gland subulate,

C. grandiflora, Dougl. A span to a foot high : leaves thickish ; the lowest roundish

 cels in whorls of 3 to 9, about the length of the flower : calyx-lobes lanceolate gradually 

 subulate-attenuate to a very acute point: corolla half to two-thirds inch long, white or 

 purple with lower lip deep blue or violet ; its very saccate throat as broad as long, almost 

 or quite transverse with the tube, as long as the recurving (internally 2-callous) upper lip; 

 lobes of the larger lower lip merely retuse or emarginate : filaments glabrous : gland ses- 

 sile and capitate: seeds roundish, smooth. — Lindl. Bot. Reg. 1. 1107 ; Gray, I.e. — Shady

C. sparsiflora, Fisch. & Meyer. More slender: upper leaves all lanceolate and 

 linear, all opposite, or the uppermost small bracts in threes : pedicels solitary or some of 

 ■the upper 2 or 3 in a whorl, sometimes longer than the flower : calyx-lobes from ovate to
