Resembling the typical form in foliage and pubescence: 

 stems taller: bracts green or only faintly tinged with purple: 

 corolla throat copiously villous within below insertion of each 

 stamen: filaments villous below middle. 



Strikingly different from the species in extreme forms, but 

 intergradations are abundant. The more robust specimens cer- 

 tainly suggest a close relationship to the Imoides group. This 

 is especially true of the specimens from the San Antonio moun- 

 tains. 



Type: On dry ridges, Bear valley, San Bernardino moun- 

 tains, altitude 6700 feet, Abrajns 2861^ August 3, 1902. The

 dino and San Antonio mountains.
