small, deep crimson biacts. Also, the lonu^ exserted corolla of 

 C. patriotica is not at all in evidence in this species. So far it 

 has not appeared elsewhere. Fnrther notes on this and the pre- 

 ceding species have been given in this journal as cited above. 



C. CRUENTA Standley, Muhlenbergia 5: 82. 1909. 

 The type of this species was one of four specimens found 

 by the writer on a rhyolitic ridge just north of Wilgus ranch in 

 the Chiricahua mountains at an altitude of 6000 feet, Septem- 

 ber 2, 1907, no. 21 jj. A single plant was found on the east 

 side of the Rincon mountains, altitude between 6500 and 7000 

 feet, October 5, 1909, no. 34S4- The very broad and obtuse 

 flowering bracts, prettily clustered near the top, are of a bright 

 red color showing a tinge of rose red when dr\-. This species 

 apparently had not been previously collected, and is probably 

 rare.

The type is no. J///, from the Kincon mountains, Septem- 

 ber 24, 1909. It had been frequenth ct>]lected by others as well 

 as the writer, as detailed in the abo\e reference. Two collec- 

 tions not before mentioned are no. j/zj. Camp Huntsman, and 

 no, J//^, east spur of Mt. Lemmon, both in the Santa Catalinas, 

 June 16, 1910. Specimens have also been found in the Huachu- 

 cas in Arizona, and in New Mexico in the Mogollon and the 

 Black ranges. In the northern Rincons, so far as determined 

 from one season's observations, it is the only Castilleja of the 

 Canadian zone and the real pine forest, and is similarly abund- 

 ant in the high Catalinas. 



Where the species meets C. integra some intergrades have 

 been found, both in the Santa Catalinas and the Rincons, and 

 these point to hybridism. These intergrades are so few in num- 

 ber that they do not in the least invalidate either species. .Meet- 

 ing points may/be found near tops of ridges, giving southwest 

 aspects where C. iutegra belongs, and northeast asjX'Cts where 

 C. aitstromo7itana is at home. .At one ])lace whert'the two were 

 found growing side b\' side, C. iuleora was tlu' first to bloom, as
