 to 8 in. high; herbage, particularly the bracts and stems, reddish; leaves 

 pinnately divided into filiform divisions; spikes slender; bracts much shorter 

 than the flowers; corolla about 10 lines long and sulphur-yellow except the 

 dark purple subulate galea, its filiform tube at least twice the length of the 

 calyx; sacs of the lower lip 2 lines deep, deeper than high, each sac com- 

 monly with 2 greenish yellow spots at the base of the tooth; folds of the 

 throat densely bearded. 



Very abundant on the plains of the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys 

 and on the low hills of the Coast Eanges, often coloring Avide stretches with 

 streamer-like bands of yellow in Apr. and May. Var. versicolor Jepson. 

 Popcorn Beauty. Corolla white, excepting the purple galea, often with a

Plains and low hills: Palo Alto; Berkeley; Contra Costa; Marin, Sonoma

 ing. Corolla tubular, enlarged :i little upwards, the lips of nearly equal length; 



Lower lip obtusely ".toothed. Stamens I or 2; anther-cells unequal, filiate or
