FIGWORT FAMILY. Scrophulariaceae. 
ous kind, about nine inches tall, with soft, thin, dull 
green leaves, most of them not lobed, and pale green bracts, 
often tipped with white: The corollas are dull white, the 
lower lip dotted with purple or yellow, and the whole effect 
of the cluster is feathery, very slender, and pale in color. 
There are a good many kinds of Pedicularis, usually with 
finely-cut leaves and spikes of queerly-shaped flowers, 
usually yellow, sometimes red or white; the corolla con- 
spicuously two-lipped, the upper lip hood-like, long and 
narrow, the lower lip three-lobed; the stamens four, two 
of them short, in the upper lip; the capsule flattened or 
compressed, beaked, splitting open, and containing many 
- seeds. These plants are supposed to cause lice in sheep 
that feed on them, so they have the ugly name of Louse- 
wort, both in English and Latin. 
A robust and very decorative plant, 
with rich coloring. The stout, purplish 
Indian Warrior 
Pediculdris 
densiflora stems are slightly hairy, from nine inches 
Crimson to nearly two feet tall, and spring from a 
Spring f hi 
Eal., Oreg. graceful cluster of large leaves, which are 
crisp in texture and smooth or slightly 
downy, rich green and often tinged with bronze. The 
flowers are an inch or more long, with purplish, hairy 
calyxes and crimson corollas, and form a very handsome 
though rather coarse-looking cluster, mixed with purplish 
bracts, and finely shaded in color, from the carmine buds 
at the top to the wine-color of the faded flowers at the 
base. This grows on wooded hillsides and in deep shade. 
The flowers are sometimes white. 
. This is an odd-looking plant, about six 
Duck-bill P : Z 
Pedicularis inches tall, with a stout, purplish stem,

Pink cluster of smooth, bright green leaves. 
— The flowers are about three-quarters of an 
Wash., Oreg. 
inch long, with purplish, woolly calyxes 
and bright pink corollas, which are veined and tipped with 
déeper color, with purplish bracts.. They are very eccen- 
tric in shape and the upper lip has a ludicrous resemblance 
to the head of a duck. This grows in the mountains.
