G. filicaulis, Chapm. 1. c. Smooth, glaucescent, apparently leafless: stem about a 

 foot long, filiform and weak, diffusely much branched ; the elongated paniculate brannh- 

 lets terminated by a flower or bearing a few short lateral pedicels : minute scales or bracts 

 mostly opposite : calyx-teeth minute : corolla 3 to 5 lines long ; the two posterior lobes 

 more erect and shorter: anther-cells aristulate at base.— G. aphylla, var. filicaulis, Benth.

G. aph:^lla, Nutt. Smooth : slender stem 1 to 3 feet high, strict and simple below, 

 about 4-angled, simple or mostly paniculate-branched above; radical leaves (rarely seen) 

 small and oval or oblong, thickish, hispidulous, half inch or less long ; cauline reduced to 

 appressed subulate and mostly scattered minute scales : pedicels short, rather crowded in 

 virgate mostly spiciform naked racemes : calyx-teeth minute : corolla 6 to 8 lines long, vil- 

 lous within ; " the upper lobes reflexed : " anther-cells hardly mueronulate at base. — Gen.

30. CASTILLEIA, Mutis. Painted-Cup. {D. Castillejo, a botanist of 

 Cadiz.) — Herbs (American, mostly N. American, and two in N. Asia) ; with 

 alternate entire or laciniate leaves, passing above into usually more incised and 

 mostly colored conspicuous bracts of a terminal spike ; the flowers solitary in 

 their axils and ebracteolate, red, purple, yellowish, or whitish ; but the corolla 

 almost always duller-colored than the calyx or bracts, mostly of yellow or greenish 

 tinge. Fl. in summer. (Primary divisions generally received are not distinct 

 enough for subgenera, except Epichroma of Mexico, with a funnelform calyx. 

 Ours accordingly may all be embraced in § Euchroma, Euchroma, Nutt. Gen. 

 ii. 55.) — Gray in Am. Jour. Sci. ser. 2, xxxiii. 335, & Bot. Calif, i, 573. 



# Annuals or some biennials with fibrous root: at least the upper part of the bracts and sometimes 

 of the calyx petaloid (bright red or scarlet, occasionally varying to yellowish): pubescence vil- 

 lous or soft-hirsute. / 



■i- Atlantic species, flowering in spring or early summer, a span to a foot high : floral leaves or 

 bracts dilated : calyx equally cleft before and behind into 2 broad or upwardly dilated entire or 

 retuse lobes.: galea (upper lip) shorter than the tube of the corolla, little surpassing the calyx, 

 much exceeding the short lower lip. 



C. COCcinea, Spreng. (Painted-Cup.) Biennial, at least northward: rosulate radi- 

 cal leaves mostly entire, obovate or oblong ; cauline and bracts laciniate or .3-5-clef t ; the 

 middle lobe of latter dilated : calyx-lobes quadrate-oblong. — Syst. ii. 775; Benth. in DC. 

 Prodr. X. 259. Bartsia coccinea, L. Spec. ii. 602. (Pluk. Aim. t. 102, fig. 5.) Euchroma coc- 

 cinea, Nutt. 1. c. — Low sandy ground, Canada and Saskatchewan to Texas. 

 C indivisa, Engelm. Leaves lanceolate-linear and entire, or sometimes with 2 or 3 

 slender lateral lobes : bracts and calyx-lobes obovate-dilated, bright red. — PI. Lindh. i. 47 ; 

 Benth. in DC. 1. c. — Texas, Berlandier, Dmvimond, Lindheimer, &c. Winter-annual, flower- 

 ing in spring, no tuft of radical leaves surviving. 



•1— -1— Ultramontane and Pacific annuals, with virgate stems, mostly tall and slender: leaves and 



bracts all linear-lanceolate and entire; the latter or at least the upper with petaloid (red) linear 



tips : flowers all pedicellate, the lower rather remote in the leafy spike : calyx gibbous and broadest 



at base, ovoid or oblong in fruit, wholly green, about equally cleft before" and behind to near the 



middle ; the segments lanceolate and acute or acutely 2-cleft at apex: galea of the narrow and 



straight corolla very much longer than the small not callous lip: capsule oblong. 



C. minor, Gray. A foot or two high : corolla half to three-fourths inch long, yellow : 



the oblong galea much shorter than the tube. — Bot. Calif, i. 573. C. affinis, var. minor. 



Gray, Bot. Mex. Bound. 119, & Am. Jour. Sci. I.e. — Wet ground, New Mexico and 



Nebraska to W. Nevada. 



C. stenantha. Taller, 1 to 5 feet high : corolla linear, double the length of that of the 



preceding species ; the slightly falcate and commonly reddish galea one-half longer than 



the tube.— C. affinis, Benth. PI. Hartw. 329, in part (no. 1897); Gray, 1. c. in part —
