Lappula nervosa (Kellogg) Greene. 
Abundant in the openings near and a little below Wagon Camp, 
where it is the most troublesome ‘stick-tight’ of the region, filling the 
forelocks and manes of the horses and binding them together in a 
dense nat. 
Monardella odoratissima Benth. 
Abundant in the Canadian zone and much less common in the 
Hudsonian. Abundant in the chaparral at Wagon Camp and found 
in several places on warm sunny slopes as high as 7,800 or 7,900 feet, 
and in one place near the head of Squaw Creek at 8,300 feet. In the 
latter locality only a few bunches occur among the rocks and no others 
were observed for a long distance below. 
Scutellaria nana Gray. Dwarf Skullcap. 
This interesting little yellow-flowered skullcap was found at one 
place only—the north slope of Shastina, at an altitude of 8,800 feet, 
where it was flowering July 24. If this alpine plant is the same as the 
type of S. nana, which came from the hot desert region near Pyramid 
Lake, Nevada, its occurrence at timberline on Shasta must be acci- 
dental. (Identified by F. V. Coville.) 
Stachys ingrata Greene. 
Abundant in moist soil at Wagon Camp, on the border betweeu the 
Canadian and Transition zones. (Identified by Professor Greene.) 
Chamesaracha nana Gray. 
This solanaceous plant, which has la ge white flowers and looks like 
a dwarf potato, is common in an old burn near Wagon Camp, where 
the Canadian and Transition zones overlap. (Identified by Miss East- 
wood.) 
Castilleja miniata Doug]. Scarlet Painted Cup. 
Common and conspicuous. A large form, probably the type form— 
since the type caine from the Blue Mountains of Oregon—is common in 
moist places in the lower part of the Canadian zone and upper part of 
the Transition. It was flowering abundantly in the uppermost grove of 
ponderosa pines at Wagon Camp the latter half of July. A smaller 
form, apparently unnamed, abounds in the heather beds of the Hud- 
sonian zone near and a little below timberline, where it was flowering 
profusely the first half of August. 
The scarlet painted cup is one of the handsomest flowers of the moun- 
tain. Where the plants are abundant on the dark heather the effect 
of the bright green corolla tubes protruding in slender spindles from 
the vivid scarlet mass of bracts and calyx is superb. Early in August 
the calliope hummingbirds were constantly hovering over these flowers.
