lower entire: spike dense, at length eylindric; bracts about equalling the 

 fl., the linear lobes with purplish and white tips: corolla 1 in. long or 

 less, purple and white, the teeth of the moderately inflated lower lip 

 shorter than the upper. — Common on hills or in lower lands. 



3. 0. castilleioides, Benth. More slender, with ampler foliage, the 

 broader denser spikes soft-hirsute: leaves narrowly lanceolate to oblong, 

 entire or laciniately cut into rather short obtusish lobes; bracts more 

 dilated and cuneate than the leaves, equalling the fl., herbaceous, white- 

 or yellowish-tipped: corolla 2 in. long, dull white, often purplish-tipped; 

 lower lip well inflated. — Common along the borders of salt marshes. 



4. 0. purpurascens, Benth. Erect, stoutish, 10— 18 in. high, usually 

 with several ascending branches, hirsute with copious white hairs: leaves 

 once or twice pinnately parted, above the linear or lanceolate base, into 

 narrow-linear divisions : spikes dense, at length eylindric: bracts about 

 equalling the fl., their laciniate-lobed divisions and those of the calyx- 

 lobes tipped with crimson-purple: corolla 1 in. long; the tube whitish or 

 yellowish; lower lip with 3 sacs at its broad apex, these not larger than 

 the short rounded recumbent teeth or lobes; upper lip long, obtuse and 

 hooked at the apex, densely red-bearded. — Fields and hillsides. 



* * Lower lip of corolla conspicuously 3-saccate, much larger than the 

 slender upper one; floral bracts not petaloid-colored at tip. 



5. 0. pusillus, Benth. Small very slender branching red-purple herb 

 3 — 5 in. high: leaves 1 — 2-pinnatifld, the floral 3 — 5-parted into filiform 

 segments, exceeding the scattered inconspicuous dark red flowers: corolla 

 glabrous, 2—3 lines long; upper lip longer than the 3-lobed lower one: 

 cap3ule globular. — Forming low dark red patches in moist grassy lands. 



6. 0. floribundus, Benth. Glabrous, 4—8 in. high, slender, some- 

 what corymbosely branching and erect: leaves pinnately parted at apex 

 into many linear-filiform divisions: spikes rather dense; bracts not 

 exceeding the calyx: corolla very pale yellow; lower lip strongly 3-sac- 

 cate, the teeth lanceolate, erect; stamens at length well exserled from the 

 upper lip. — Hilltops about San Francisco. 



7. 0. faucibarbatus, Gray. Stoutish and rather tall (1 ft. high), 

 fastigiately branching, glabrous, or the inflorescence with some hirsute 

 hairs; herbage invariably green and slightly fleshy : spikes long and dense; 

 corolla slender, 1 in. long, even the sacs relatively small, the folds within 

 villous-bearded, color either sulphur-yellow or white with a pinkish 

 tinge: stamens not exserted. — In moist meadows of the Coast Bange; 

 the albino state more common in Santa Cruz Co. 



8. 0. eriautlms, Benth. Smaller and more slender than the lasti 

 but with as many fastigiate branches, soft-pubescent; herbage,or at least 

 the stem and bracts dark reddish: corolla deep sulphur yellow, the acute
