EASTWOOD. — MEXICAN SPECIES OF CASTILLEJA. 571 
C. G. Pringle, no, 4117 (type, in hb. Gray).—This is well distinguished 
in the group in which it has been placed by the almost lanate pubes- 
cence. Often at the base of the stem there is a peculiar thickening due 
to the old crowded leaf-bases. The leaves are probably present during 
the wet season. 
9. C. ornata, n. sp., caulibus 1-2 rectis simplicibus 1.7-2.5 dm. altis 
glandulari-pilosis striatis ; foliis lanceolatis vel oblongis, apice acutis 
vel obtusis, basi amplexicaulibus, margine integris vel crispi-undulatis, 
2-3.5 cm. longis 2-6 mm. latis trinerviis ; foliis radicalibus rosulatis, 
caulinis propinquis, supremis apice coccineis ; floribus bracteisque con- 
fertis in spicis ornatis ; bracteis spatulatis glandulari-puberulentibus, 
apice rotundatis vel rhomboideis 2-2.5 cm. longis 5-10 mm. latis 
calycem excedentibus ; calyce fisso 1cm., segmentis undulatis 5 mm. 
latis ; galea exserta 5mm., apice acuta, dorso viridi puberulenti, antice 
albo-membranacea ; labio inferiore trisaccato membranaceo, laciniis 
subulati-acuminatis 2mm. longis; stylo filiformi exserto, stigmate 
crasso bilobato, in fructu galea stigmateque contortis ; capsula oblongo- 
ovata acuminata compressa 1 cm. longa. —Cutmuanva: near Colonia 
Juarez, Sierra Madre, June-July, 1899, EZ W. Nelson, no. 6073 
(type, in hb. Gray). This approaches more closely to C. glandulosa than 
any other species and resembles it in the trisaccate lower lip with the 
divisions separated by the folds forming the three sacs below. It has 
different pubescence and generally obtuse leaves. C. glandulosa does 
not appear ever to have the basal leaves rosulate, but their persistence 
in this species may be due to a season or locality of greater moisture. 
es 10. C. communis Benth., pilosa et hispida ramosa alta ; caulis im- 
~~ feriore parte squamulose tuberculata ; foliis lanceolatis integris basi 
angustatis apice acutis vel obtusis ; spicis elongatis basi interruptis ; 
bracteis apice coloratis vix dilatatis flores parum aequantibus apice 
glandulosis viridibus ; corolla non exserta ; capsula lata obtusa siccitate 
nigra. — Benth. in DC. Prodr. x. 529; Hemsl. Biol. Cent.-Am. Bot.
