instead of acute ultimate calyx divisions; the lip is longer in proportion to the 
galea, and the pubescence is more villous. From C. Covilleana it differs in the 
less deeply cleft bracts, in the oblong blunt divisions of the calyx, and in the 
longer exserted lip of the corolla.

William C. Cusick, no. 3125 (type, hb. Field Mus. Cat. no. 225016); and in the 
same locality, 27 August, 1907, William C. Cusick, no. 3222° (hb. Field Mus.). 
Mr. Cusick states that the plants here cited were associated with Salix, and 
that they grew especially in thickets of S. sitchensis. The numerous subflexous 
stems, ascending from a common base, each terminated by a conspicuous inflores- 
cence variegated with green, red, and yellow, render it an extremely attractive 
species.
