 lobes narrowly oblong, about 3 mm. long, 1-1.5 mm. broad ob- 

 tuse ; petals wdiite, blanceolate-spathulate, 5-6 mm. long, about 

 1.5 mm. broad, obtuse at apex, narrowed below to slender claw;

This is perfectly distinct from B. polycarpa, Benth., and 

 easily distinguished by pubescence and habits. The type locality 

 is "low or wet places near San Gabriel, California, Alarch 22, 

 (iSS^)" collected by Dr. Bigelow.

"^'CASTILLEJA CALIFORNICA. Stems slender, f-agile, 

 branching from a rather thick, woody root, erect and more or 

 less branching above, 4-5 dm. high, sparsely and minutely pu- 

 berulent ; upper -stem leaves linear, remotely and obscurely den- 

 ticulate or entire, 2-4 cm. long, 2-3 mm. broad, obtuse or rounded 

 at apex with shorter slender leafy branchlets in their axils ; ra- 

 cemes at first viscid-pubescent or villous, becoming nearly glab- 

 rous, 10-20 cm. long; bracts red or red-tipped, about 2 cm. long, 

 3-4 mm. wide, entire or rarely with i or 2 very short lateral 

 teeth ; calyx about 2.5 cm. long, cleft about equally before and 

 behind its lobes i cm. long, cleft at the apex, the teeth lanceo- 

 late, 3-4 mm. long, acute ; corolla 2.-5-3 cm. long ; galea about 

 three-fourths the length of the tube, green on the back, the face 

 bright red ; the tube greenish-yellow. 



This species is related to C. Doiiglasii, Benth., but differs 

 from that in foliage habit and flowers.
