 the Rocky Mountains further north by Mr. Kreuzfeldt, In Gunnison's expedition. Stem one or 



two feet high, mostly simple, rigid ; leaves 1-^- to 3 inches long, 2 to 3 lines wide, entire ; most 

 of the floral ones almost wholly petaloid, ample, shorter than the fully developed flowers. 

 Calyx 8 or 12 lines long, red or reddish ; ^^ corolla reddish green ;'' galea 6 to 8 lines long; 

 the lower lip very short Apparently a well marked new species of the section Callicliroma, 

 It is No. 584 of Fendler's New Mexican collection; and Dr. Bigelow gathered specimens in 

 Whipple's expedition on the Llano Estacado.

 biennial root. Flowers, especially the corolla, very much smaller than in the typical Californian 

 plant (such as Hartweg's No. 1896 ;) but Hartweg's No. 1897 connects the two. The lobes of 

 the calyx vary from nearly entire to deeply 2-cleft • the tube is often split down deeper on the 

 posterior than the anterior side.

 Wrightj (1490.) This appears to be a well-marked species of the section Hemichroma, with 



colored than is usual in that section. The- thin leaves do not turn 

 blackish in drying; they are mostly about 2 inches long and 3 lines wide ; the floral shorter and 

 blunter, the lower mostly green, the upper colored red. Calyx very thin, slightly pubescent, an 

 inch long, exceeding the lower lip of the corolla by 3 or 4 lines, but half or two-thirds of an 

 inch shorter than the ample galea, nearly straight, deeply cleft anteriorly, but on the posterior 

 side only to the depth of 2 or 3 lines ; the teeth broad and short. Galea somewhat pubescent 

 on the back, yellowish, the edges tinged with red.
