 tifid; divisions lanceolate, serrate or incised: lower whorls of the spike remote: calyx- 

 teeth entire: corolla yellow (over half inch long); galea with incurved acuminate beak, 

 becoming straitish. — Monogr. in Mem. Soc. Nat. Mosc. vi. 20, t. 4, fig. 1 ; Hook. Fl. ii.

 tube of corolla nearly included in the 5-toothed calyx: leaves lanceolate in outline, pinnately 

 parted; the linear or lanceolate divisions acutely or laciniately serrate, or the larger again 

 pinnatifid: stems simple, strict, from a span to a foot and a half high : spike dense and many- 

 flowered, naked: corolla dull rose-red or crimson-purple. 



P. GrcBnlandica, Retz. Glabrous : spike 1 to 6 inches long : calyx-teeth short : beak 

 of the galea half inch or more long, twice the length of the rest of the corolla, decurved

P. attollens, Gray. More slender : spike loosely lanate-pubescent when young : flowers 

 smaller : calyx-teeth nearly as long as the tube : corolla dull violet purple : galea much 

 shorter than the broad lower lip, about half the length of the obtuse and abruptly 

 upturned or retrocurved filiform beak, which is only 2 or 3 lines long. — Proc. Am. Acad, 

 vii. 384, & Bot. Calif, i. 682. — Wet ground. Sierra Nevada, California, from the Yosemite

H— -1— Galea of the (short, half inch long) white corolla produced into a slender elongated-subu- 

 late circinate-inciu-ved beak, nearly reaching the apex of the broad lower lip : calyx cleft in 

 front : whole plant glabrous. 



P. contorta, Benth. A foot or less high, simple : leaves pinnately parted into linear 

 incisely serrate lobes ; the upper reduced to simpler small bracts : spike naked, cylindrical, 

 rather loosely many-flowered : galea with the slender beak almost circinate. — Hook. Fl. 

 ii. 108, & DC. I. c. 575. — Mountains of Oregon and Idaho, Tolmie, Hayden, &c. 



P. racemosa, Dougl. A foot or so high, simple or sometimes branching, leafy to the 

 top : leaves lanceolate, undivided, minutely and doubly crenulate (2 to 4 inches long) : 

 flowers short-pedicelled, in a short leafy raceme or spike, or the lower in remote axils and 

 uppermost with bracts hardly surpassing the 2-toothed calyx : slender beak of galea 

 hamate-deflexed. — Hook. 1. c, & DC. 1. c. — Subalpine regions, British Columbia to N. 

 California, Utah, and Colorado. 



4_ H_ ^^ Galea falcate and with a conical or thick-subulate beak, edentulate : leaves at least pin- 

 natifid : flower about half inch long. 



++ Stems more or less leafy, low: leaves simply pinnatifid: corolla ochroleucous. 



P. Lapponica, L. Merely puberulent : stems clustered, a span or more high, leafy up 

 to the short close spike : leaves lanceolate, pinnatifid half way down in many and close 

 small oblong and incisely toothed lobes : calyx cleft in front, minutely 2-toothed behind : 

 galea erect, with abruptly incurved conical short beak. — Fl. Lapp. t. 4, fig. 1; Fl. Dan. 

 t. 2; Pursh, Fl. ii. 309. — Labrador and Arctic America: apparently uncommon. (Green- 

 land, Lapland to Kamtschatka.) 



P. Parryi, Gray. Glabrous, or the inflorescence slightly pubescent : stem a span or two 

 high, very leafy at base, slightly so above : leaves linear-lanceolate in outline, deeply pin- 

 nately parted; the divisions linear-lanceolate, acute (2 or 3 lines long), closely callous- 

 serrate ; uppermost leaves reduced to narrow linear bracts : spike dense, \\ to 4 inches 

 long : calyx 5-toothed ; the teeth entire : corolla ochroleucous or more yellow ; galea 

 strongly falcate, with decurved subulate-conical be?ik, of about the length of the width of 

 the galea. — Am. Jour. Sci. ser. 2, xxxiii. 250; Porter & Coulter, Syn. Fl. Colorad. 97. —
