CASTILLEJA ELATA Piper, sp. nov. 



Perennial, from slender, creeping rootstocks ; stems erect, rather 

 slender, simple or with a few slender branches, 50 to 90 cm. high, 

 glabrous ; leaves numerous, all entire, linear-lanceolate, subsessile, 

 attenuate to an acutish apex, 3-nerved, glabrous, mostly 3 to 5 cm. 

 long; spikes dense, 2 to 10 cm. long, the axis pubescent; bracts dull 

 purplish, relatively shorter and broader than the leaves, mostly en- 

 tire, only the uppermost lobed, more or less puberulent; calyx 

 tubular-campanulate, puberulent, about 12 mm. long, cleft for about 

 half its length before and behind, each lobe cleft to about the middle, 

 thus forming four acutish subequal teeth; corolla 18 to 20 cm. long, 

 dull purple excepting the back of the galea, the latter straight, puber- 

 ulent, equaling the tube, the lip very small, thick, saccate, protuber- 

 ant, its slender subequal teeth acute. 



Well distinguished by its entire leaves, creeping rootstocks, and 

 dull-purplish spike. The flowers resemble closely those of C. ore- 

 opola subintegra Fernald, but that has clustered stems. 



A characteristic species of the Darlingtonia swamps of Josephine 

 County, Oregon. 



Type specimen. — Sheet no. 528,817, U. S. National Museum.

 what more pubescent inflorescence.
