 the length of the comparatively conspicuous lowi r lip. 



8. C. pallida, Kunth. A foot or so high, above commonly villous with long 



and weak cobwebby hairs, especially the dense leafy-braeted spike: leaves all or 

 mainly entire, membranaceous ; the lower linear ; the upper from narrowly to ovate- 

 lanceolate ; the floral or bracts often sparingly laciniate or cleft, colored usually with 

 white or yellowish, equalling the flowers (these commonly an inch long) : lower 

 lip of the corolla only one third or half shorter than the upper. — C. Sibirica,

Var. septentrionalis. Commonly less pubescent, often almost glabrous, a span 

 to two feet high : bracts not rarely tinged with purple : corolla two thirds to three 

 fourths of an inch long; its lower lip less large, from one third to half the length 

 of the upper. — C. septentrionalis, Lindl. Lot. Reg. t. 925 (1825). ft acuminata, 

 Spreng. Syst. ii. 775 (1825, Bartsia acuminata, 1'ursh, unless this be V. miniata, a

Var. occidentalis. Barely a span high, tutted : leaves rather rigid, narrow; 

 the upper cauline as well as the sparingly colored (pale) bracts often ll-cleft : corolla 

 a third to half an inch long; its lower lip about half the length of the upper. ft

Even the var. septt ntrionalis, which abounds on the higher mountains north and east of Cali- 

 fornia, and extends across the continent high northward to Labrador, has not been met with 

 in the State. Var. occidentalis (belonging to the higher alpine region <>f the Rocky Mountains),

 Calyx short-tubular or ohlong-campanulate, l-eleft, or sometimes cleft before and 

 behind, and the two lateral divisions 2-clefl or parted. Corolla tubular; the upper 

 lip (galea) little or not at all longer than the lower, like that of Castilleia bul 

 shorter, small in comparison with the inflated 1-3-saccate lower ona Stamens as 

 in Castilleia, or the lower and smaller anther-cell someti s wanting. Style, cap- 

 sule, Arc, similar. — Low annuals, with two exceptions (of the Californian region 

 and one South American), more or less resembling Castilleia in foliage and inn 

 cence, very nearly related to it through the first of the following species, although 

 the later ones are conspicuously different.
