Pedicularis Dudleyi, n. sp.—Perennial herbs, 2 to 3°" high, 
usually from a branched caudex: stems solitary from each of the 
scaly crowned caudices, the central ones erect, the outer ones ascend- 
ing, simple or sometimes branched, not exceeding the basal leaves, 
lanose especially toward the base, more or less curved; basal bracts 
brown, lanceolate, entire, glabrous, marcescent: leaves chiefly from 
the base of the stem, alternate, the uppermost at about the middle 
of the stem but not exceeding it, the lowest ones longest and some- 
what decumbent, lanceolate in outline, the larger 25°™ long, 6°™ 
wide; leaf segments about to pairs, subglabrous or short pubescent 
on the nerves, membranous; lower pairs distinctly petiolate, the 
upper pairs not only sessile but broadly united, those along the 
middle largest; each lobe ovate or oblong in outline, 3°™ long, 
2°™ wide, cleft into irregular lobes or merely dentate, the margins 
unequally serrate or dentate, its teeth sharply pointed: inflorescence 
spicate, densely flowered, at most 5°™ long and 3°™ in diameter, 
upon peduncles equaling half the length of the stem, usually erect 
but frequently somewhat curved; bracts subtending the flowers, 
foliaceous, serrately toothed, the upper ones equaling the flowers, 
the lower ones much exceeding them: calyx 1°™ long, unequally 
5-cleft, the segments acute and obscurely toothed toward the apex, 
densely lanose on the exterior: corolla 2°™ long, the narrow tubular 
part half that in length, glabrous; upper lip conduplicate, slightly 
notched at apex, pink or whitish, much protruding and arched; lower 
lip subequally 3-toothed: stamens equal; filaments glabrous; anthers 
broadly elliptic, attached to the basal dorsal side, the cells connate 
and rounded at apex, the base not united, acute: style filiform, sub- 
persistent, thicker and more or less flattened toward the apex, con- 
spicuously recurved and protruding from the upper lip; ovary glab- 
rous, dark brown, 2-celled, flattened, acuminately pointed: capsule 
coriaceous, 12™™ long, 7™™ wide, acuminately terminating in an 
upwardly curved point: seeds about 4, black when mature, pitted, 
subterete or obscurely angular. 3 
Good flower and fruit of this type specimen, no. 4289, was collected in May 
and June 1903, at Iverson’s Ranch on the Pescadero Creek, San Mateo County, 
ornia. 
Only known from this locality, where it is rare and confined to the deep shade 
of Sequoia sempervirens. Its proximity to a camping ground endangers its exist-
