78 LEAFLETS. 



acutish blade tapering to a long and broadly winged petiole ; 

 flowers on stout pedicels, one in tbe axil of each bract ; sepala 

 lanceolate, acute or acuminate, of scarcely more than half the 

 length of the corolla, this 5-parted, the lobes oval or oblong-

Crabtree Meadows, at 11,000 feet, 18 Aug., 1904, Culbertson ; 

 tbese specimens in fruit. The flowering specimens used in 

 making the diagnosis are Coville & Funston's n. 1629 of the 

 Death Valley Expedition. 



Castillbia teisbcta. Stems tufted on a tap-root, erect, 

 simple, a foot high, loosely leafy, the whole herbage sparsely 

 pubescent and somewhat clammy, light-green ; leaves about 1 i 

 inches long, of a broadly linear or quadrate undivided portion, 

 terminated by 3 narrowly linear unequal segments, the middle 

 one largest ; spike lax, its trifid bracts scarlet : calyx deeply cleft 

 on the upper side, the 4 short subequal lobes scarlet ; corolla 

 with only the long straight ascending galea exserted. 



Hackett's Meadows, at 8,600 feet, 18 July; faker's n. 4431. 

 Allied to Nuttall's C. angustifolia, but with different foliage, 

 and flowers rather more like those of C. linariifolia. 



Castilleia CtrLBERTS9Nii: Slender subalpine perennial, the 

 stems not tufted, each from its own very slender horizontal 

 rootstock, erect, 4 to 6 inches high, both stem and small nar- 

 rowly lanceolate acuminate entire leaves minutely and sparingly 

 hirtellous : spike short but flowers rather large ; bracts trifid, 

 the lowest green and leaf -like, the others red-purple ; calyx 

 villous, unequally cleft, the teeth shorter than the tube ; galea 

 of the corolla prominent, but shorter than the tube. 



Crabtree Meadow, at 11,000 feet, near Mt. Whitney, 17 Aug.; 

 Culbertson. In a stouter and more pubescent state the plant 

 occurs in U. S. Herb, as collected by Hall & Chandler, at 10,000 

 feet in the mountains of Fresno Co., July, 1900, the label bear- 

 ing the name C. Lemmoni, which species differs widely from 

 this in habit, its stems being tufted upon the subligneous crown 

 of a tap-root.
