 rounded, 3 mm. long and nearly as wide: calyx 15 mm. long, 

 about equally cleft before and behind, the segments 6 mm. long, 

 narrowly linear, less than i mm. wide: corolla 17 or 18 mm. 

 long, narrow, about 2 mm. across at base 3 mm. at the top, the 

 lower lip 3-cleft into linear divisions 2 mm, long, the upper lip

The type is no. 8079, collected June 20, 1905, at Gazelle, 

 Siskiyou county, California, in moist meadows. Its nearest rel- 

 ative seems to be C. pilosa the type of which was collected in 

 "Washoe Valley, Nevada," but our plant differs from that in 

 having a longer flower, the calyx not "cleft nearly to the base 

 anteriorly." Its pubescence is also harsher, the leaves more cor- 

 iaceous and narrower, and the floral bracts with more numerous 

 narrower lobes.
