the principal ones 4 to 7.5 cm. long, slightly puberulent above, tomentu-. 
lose and becoming glabrate beneath, on slender petioles 0.7 to 1.5 em. 
long : flowers in crowded fascicles: pedicels 1 to 1.5 em. long, slightly 
thickened above : calyx glabrous, at first campanulate, 2 or 3 mm. high, 
with ascending blunt lobes, later rotate and larger: corolla tubular _ 
funnelform, straw-colored, 8 mm. long, with spreading or finally re-

sometimes entire: flowers loosely racemose; pedicels 1 cm. or less

Hook. & Arn. Differing from both in its much longer galea (distinctly 
Sheooiting the tube) and in its thinner divaricately cleft leaves. 
Castilleja Pringlei. Dwarf rather tufted perennial, with many 
slender decumbent pilose stems 3 to 6 cm. high: lowest leaves crowded 
and bract-like, ovate, 3 to 4 mm. long; the upper 1.5 to 2 cm. long,
