 the axils of the penultimate pair of leaves. Corolla glabrous or spar- 

 ingly pilose-pubescent, yellow or crimson-scarlet, the limb slightly bilab- 

 iate, very much shortc." than the elongated tube; stamens and style but

 when young: leaves rather rigid, ovate or cordate, obtuse, 6-12 lines long,

 oled, the upper one or two pairs connate-perfoliate : whorls of flowers 

 on slender peduncles; flowers small, rose-color, 6-10 lines long, strongly 

 bilabiate, the linear, lower lip nearly as • long as the gibbous tube; fila- 

 ments slightly hairy below, exserted: ovaries glabrous. Common on 

 rocky places, western Oregon and Washington.

Order XLVIII. KTHlACEyE B. .Juss. Hort. Train 1751). 



Trees shrubs or herbs with opposite or whorled entire leaves 

 and regular flowers. Tube of the calyx adherent to the ovary, 

 the limb mostly 4-5-parted or toothed. Corolla inserted upon 

 the summit of the calyx tube, composed of as many united 

 petals as there are lobes of the calyx, mostlv valvate in the 

 bud Stamens inserted into the tube of the corolla, equal in 

 number and alternate with its lobes: anthers introrse. Ovary 

 *2-celled with a single ovule in each cell, or 3-several-celled 

 with 1-several ovules in each cell. Style single, sometimes 

 with 2 or more lobes or stigmas. Seeds anatropous or am- 

 phitropous, solitary, few or numerous in each cell. Embryo 

 straight or slightly curved, in the axis or at the extremity of 

 copious, densely fleshy or horny albumen.
