icafy-stemmed, the eauline leaves sessile, their much larger segments 

 pinnatifid or incised, the flowers of the dense spike sessile, the calyx 

 more inflated, the lower lip of the corolla nearly equalling the galea, and 

 two of the filaments slightly bearded. 



252. Pedicularis procera, (sp. nov. Blcuspidatarum) : caule 1^3-pe- 

 dali crasso foliato superne cum spica densiflora 9-18-pollicari molliter 

 pnbescente; foliis glabris pinnatipartitis, (radicalibus siepe sesquipedali- 

 bus pinnatisectis), segmentis lanceolatis laciniato-pinnatifidis, lobis serra- 

 tis vel incisis ; bracteis e basi ovato-lanceolata lineari-elongatis, inferiori- 

 bus pectinato-pinnatifidis flores superantibus ; calyce subjequaliter 5-fido, 

 lobis lanceolatis integris tubo subdimidio brevioribus; corollse (ultra- 

 poliicaris sordidse virido striatae) galea apice cucullata erostri truncata 

 bidentata labium sub-patentem breviter trilobum vix aeqaante. 



11-sides, not uncommon in scattered localities." Collected also by 

 Fremont in 1845, and in the Sandia Mountains farther south, by Dr. J. 

 M. Bigelow ; but only in fruit. A striking species, quite distinct from 

 any other known to rae. 



253. Pedicularis Sudefica,WiM., YSLT. "High alpine; rare." The 

 specimens accord very well with F. Sudetica, especially with Russian- 

 American specimens, except the deeply emarginate summit of the galea 

 IS almost or quite edentulate. Bunge describes them as " breves trian- 

 gnlares basi latos ;" but they are often subulate. I fancy that P. nasula 

 of Kamtscfaatka is very near Dr. Parry's plant. P. Kanei, of Durand, 

 from Arctic Greenland, does not belong to P. Sudetica, as Dr. Hooker 

 supposed, but to P lanaia, "Willd. ; which again, contrary to Benthani 

 and Dr. Hooker, I must regard with Bunge as clearly different from P. 

 htrsuta. It is much nearer another species which Dr. Hooker refere to 

 ^. Sudetica, viz. Langsdorffii, with which it has been confused, but it 

 >8 perfectly edentulate. The teeth of the latter, however, are infle.ved, 

 and so may escape observation. AH the continental American 1 . Iiir- 

 suta" I have seen belongs to P. lanata. All these species are well dis- 

 criminated by Bunge in Ledebour's Flora Rossica. 



254. Si/ntkuris plantaqinea, Benth. Wholly below the alpine region. 

 The same as Fendler's No. 582. Radical leaves rnostly obtuse or 

 rounded (rarely at all cuneate) at the base ; scape raultibracteate. 1* Iow- 

 a's all short-pedicelled; sepals ovate, obtuse, viUous-ciliate, becoming 

 nearly glabrous with age. Corolla pale, very deeply 2-parted or even 

 <iivided, the upper lip cuneate-obovate, entire or obscurely erose, a httle 



«ceeding the calyx, twice the length of the 3-lobed lower l.p. btigraa 

 ;apitellate.-The species of the genus need a complete revision, which 

 ; am unable now to attempt. In S. Hou ffhtom am, ^.h^ch I formerly 

 Jad in cultivation, a great diversity was observed in the calyx, (varying 

 from 2-3-parted to 5-parted), corolla, (2-4-parted, as described in the 

 Manual, but the lips or divisions nearly of equal length, ^/^^ ^^*;; "^; 

 feu very short, as described in the Prodromus), stamens (either two or 

 four), and even the ova^, which is occasionally tn^^ellary-^
