22111111. long or less, cleft about twice as deeply below as above, 

 the two lobes lance-ovate and acutish, each bi-lobed at the apex; 

 upper half of the calyx red, lower half bright green: finely pu- 

 berulent throughout: corolla about two-thirds as long as the 

 calyx, the galea 12111111. long or less and 3-toothed at the apex; 

 lower lip of the corolla about 2.5 in 111. lcng, 3-lobed, the lobes 

 linear and obtuse; whole corolla very finely puberulent; flowers 

 on peduncles 1 cm. long or less. 



The type was collected by Mr. Blumer (no. 138c;) in the 

 Chiracahua mountains, Arizona, at Barfoot Park, on rolling an- 

 desitie, pine land, recently lumbered, altitude between 2450 and 

 2550 meters. It seems not to be very closely related to any 

 other species of Arizona or New Mexico familiar to the writer, 

 or to any whose description he has been able to find. Its dis- 

 tinguishing characteristics are its branching habit, small leaves 

 with divergent lobes, and small calyx and corolla. In spite of 

 its small flowers, the plant is apparently a very handsome one. 



Concerning this Castilleja Mr. Blumer writes: "This was 

 collected September 15, 1906, at Barfoot Park. Only occa- 

 sional, on drier situations; flowers brilliant deep crimson or 

 fiery red, passing abruptly into green toward base of the calyx. 

 Division line between this and 1379 does not appear clearly 

 (perhaps because of the large amplitude of variation, especially 

 in 1379). Some calyces are deeply cleft behind, others hardly 

 more so than in 1379. One calyx noted was deeply cleft and 

 each of the divisions 3-lobed. In this species, also, a case of fas- 

 ciation was found."

 Here seems to belong no. 1379, collected at the same place 

 and on the same date as the above. It differs from the typical 

 form of the species chiefly in its larger corolla and calyces. The 

 specimen sent to our herbarium was noteworthy because of its 

 densely branched habit, but the collector, after examining a 

 number of specimens, writes that this is not necessarily charac- 

 teristic of the plant. He also sends the following notes concern-
