FldWORT FAMILY. Scrophulariaceae. 



One of the handsomest of its kind, a 



and much P rettier an <i more effective 

 faudbarbtitus than the next. The branching stem is 

 Yellow, whitish about a foot tall, and the leaves are very 

 light, bright yellowish-green, and thin in 

 texture. The flowers are about an inch 

 long, with very clear bright yellow "pouches" and 

 greenish "beaks" tipped with white. They have a curi- 

 ously solid appearance, as if carved out of yellow wax, and 

 are very pleasing and fresh in color, harmonizing well with 

 the light green bracts, which give a very feathery effect to 

 the top of the cluster. Like most of its relations, the 

 flowers are more effective when we look down on them, 

 growing among the grass, than when they are picked and 

 we see them in profile. The corollas are sometimes pinkish- 

 white. This is common in the valleys cf the Coast Ranges.
