Kss, soft pubescent along the back, the galea shorter than the 

 tube, the very short and inconspicuous green lip with three sharp 

 teeth: capsule ovoid, about I cm. long, with a short beak, glab- 

 rous. 



This does indeed seem to be related to ('. affinis because ol 

 the form of the calyx. From that species it is distinguished by 

 the long and very acute calyx segments, the shorter pubescence, 

 and the different bracts and leaves. Type collected atGilmore's 

 ranch on Eagle creek in the White mountains of New .Mexico, 

 August 25; 1907, Wooton and Standley 3411, altitude about 3400 

 feet. We have the following additional collections from the 

 White mountains: Mescalero reservation, 1905, Wooton; divide 

 above the Mescalero agencv, 1H95, Wooton; White Mountain 

 Peak, 1897 and 1901, Wooton. From the Sacramento range, 

 which is the southern continuation of the White mountains, we 

 have a collection from Cloudcroft, 1H99, Wooton. This is the 

 tallest of any of the Castillejas found in New Mexico, except 

 possibly C. Unariaefolia. It frequents the pine clad mountain 

 sides chiefly, but sometimes occurs on the more open slopes in 

 the "parks." 



In the collection of plants made by Mr. ( ). B. Metcalf in 

 1904 about the Black range was a Castillcja that seemed to be 

 new. In our herbarium it was represented by several collections 

 from the Mogollon mountains. Professor E. (). W T ooton and 

 myself assigned it a name which was used upon the labels sent 

 out with the sets. Dr. Rydberg has written us that he finds no 

 essential difference between this plant and C. lauta A. Xelson, 

 originally described from Wyoming. Upon comparison with 

 specimens of this species received from Colorado and Utah, our 

 plant does seem to be the same, although scarcely any other 

 plants of the northwestern states can be found in the mountains 

 of southwestern New Mexico. 



Castilleja Integra A. Gray, was first collected in the Organ 

 mountains of southern New Mexico. It is distributed over a 

 wide area, occurring almost throughout this Territory, as well 

 as in Texas, Colorado, and Arizona. It is a variable species in
