The examination of a considerable amount of material shows 
that this species, hitherto somewhat doubtfully referred to Ortho- 
carpus, has its affinity rather with the genus Castilleia. Not- 
withstanding the rather prominent lower lip and the short, broad 
galea, yet the very slight saccate character of the lip, and the 
calyx cut about equally before and behind with the lateral lobes 
shortly 2-cleft at the apex, combined with the perennial habit, 
allindicate its relation to Castilleia, and to the C. pallida group. 
lnaddition to the characters already given the following sup- 
plementary description may be appended. Stems I.5 to a 
high, usually several rising from a woody perennial base, simple 
t sparingly branched above, cinereous-puberulent often with 
‘preading pilose hairs, especially below.
