Wrightu leaves are smooth and thickish, bluish- 



Pink, purple green, with a "bloom," the lower ones 



with a few irregular, blunt teeth, or wit! 



wavy margins, and the flowers, which an 

 the same shape and size as the last, are deep, brighl 

 pink, with a magenta line on each lobe and some whit< 

 hairs on the lower lip. The filaments are purple, witl 

 whitish anthers, and the fifth stamen resembles a tin] 

 brush, with yellow bristles on the upper side and pointing 

 into the throat. The whole effect of the graceful flower 

 cluster is bright, beautiful, and conspicuous, growing amonj 

 the rocks, on hillsides and in canyons.

 Pentstemon . . . Tr 



Penistemon lattus c l r an d is the commonest kind in Yose 

 Blue, purple mite, from one to two feet high, with rough 



Summer i s h, toothless leaves and several slender 



erect, somewhat hairy branches, ending ii 

 long loose clusters of flowers. The corollas are an incl 

 long, and vary from deep bright blue through all shade: 

 of violet to deep pink, with two white ridges in the throat 

 and with two white anthers visible and two purple one; 

 hidden in the throat. The flowers' faces have a quaint 

 wide-awake expression. This grows on dry rocky slof 

 and is often mistaken for P. heterophyllus, which is rat 

 common in open places in the Coast Ranges. P. linaru 

 blooming in late summer at the Grand Canyon, is 

 what similar, but the flowers are smaller and more delicate 

 and the leaves are smooth, small, and narrow.
