 with many stems from the base, mostly 10 to 18 in. high, white-

 and fascicled in the lower axils, about 1 in. long or less, the upper 

 cauline and bracts 3-parted into linear lobes; bracts with lobes 

 spatulate-dilated at apex, the middle lobe largest and shallowly 

 3-lobed; spikes dense; flower about 9 lines long, only slightly curved; 

 galea protruding from calyx only 1 or 2 lines, shorter than or as long

 exceeding the lower one. Lower lip 3-saccate, inflated, often very 

 conspicuous. Stamens 4; anthers in some species with but one cell.
