Pentstemon newberryi Gray. 
Common in places in the Hudsonian zone and possibly in the upper 
part of the Canadian; much less generally distributed than P. menziesi 
and usually occurring at lower altitudes. On the north side of Shastina 
it was flowering, the latter part of July, at an elevation of 7,600 feet, 
and at the same time on the cold east slope of Mud Creek Canyon as 
low down as 5,600 feet. Its flowers are much larger than those of 
P. menziesi and red instead of bluish; its leaves are longer, and are 
serrate instead of entire. 
Pentstemon glaber utahensis Watson. 
Abundant just below timberline on the curious Pinus albicaulis plain 
between North Gate and Bolam Creek, on the north side of Shasta, 
where it was flowering plentifully July 24. It was not seen elsewhere 
on the mountain. Its blue-purple flowers are even larger than those 
of P. newberryi and are very showy and handsome. (Identified by 
Professor Greene.) 
Pentstemon deustus (Dougl.). Yellow Pentstemon. 
Common in the rough black Java beds in the Shasta fir forest north 
of Cascade Gulch, on the west side of the mountain, at an altitude of 
about 7,500 feet, but not seen elsewhere. This species is a dwarf bush 
5 or 6 inches high, with yellow flowers and strongly serrate leaves. 
(Identified by Professor Greene.) 
Pentstemon gracilentus Gray. 
Abundant in places in the Shasta fir forest, particularly between the 
canyons of Mud and Ash creeks, in the Canadian zone. (Identified by 
Miss Eastwood and Professor Greene.) 
Pentstemon confertus Doug]. (Not typical.) 
Common near Wagon Camp. (Identified by Miss Eastwood and 
Professor (sreene.) 
Veronica cusicki Gray. 
Common just below timberline, particularly along the little streams 
where it grows in the grass and heather on the overhanging banks. It 
was flowering abundantly from the time of our arrival, the middle of 
July, until about the middle of August. (Identified by Miss Eastwood 
and Professor Greene.) 
Boschniakia strobilacea Gray. 
Collected at Wagon Camp by Miss Wilkins. (Identified by Profes- 
sor Greene.) 
Linnea borealis Linn. Twin Bell-tlower. 
Fairly common along one of the streams half a mile north of Sisson 
Tavern, but not noticed elsewhere. This form was described by Torrey 
as variety longiflora.
