simis setaceis; lobis calycis variabilibus 4-9 mm. longis plerum- 

 que longoacuminatis marginibus scariis saepe erosis; corolla 

 12-15 mm. longa clare coerulea vel tubo infra albido paullo 

 gradatimque ad faucem dilatata non valde bilabiata, lobis 

 brevi-oblongis patentibus labro inferiore intus conspicue fiavo- 

 barbato; loculis antherarum omnino dehiscentibus; filamento 

 sterile stamina breviora aequanti flavo-barbato. — Type Peck 

 16187, collected at Gaston, Washington County, in a boggy 

 meadow June 27, 1930, where it occurred plentifully. 



A well marked species, taller than any other herbaceous 

 form hitherto known from Oregon. Its discovery is the more in- 

 teresting from the fact that Pentstemons are rare in north- 

 western Oregon. The habitat is also remarkable.
