corolla yellow, 6-10 lines long, its upper lip much longer than the small 

 lower one: capsule oblong., acute, 6-8 lines long. In moist soil, eastern

* * Perennials. 



*• Calyx deeper cleft before than behind, tubular- cylindraceous 

 mostly colored red, as are a part of the bracts : corolla large, an inch 

 or two long, well exserted from the lower side of the spathaceous calyx 

 and at length somewhat arcuate or falcate exposing the protuberant 

 and very short callous lower lip, its galea about equalling the tube. 



C. liuearifolia Benth. in DC. Prodr. x, 259. Glabrous below, the in- 

 florescence somewhat pubescent or villous : stems strict, 2-5 feet high : 

 leaves linear, entire or some of the upper sparingly laciniate, and the up- 

 permost and bracts 3-parted, 3-nerved : calyx narrowly cylindrical, over an 

 inch long, mostly red or crimson, sometimes pale, the anterior fissure very 

 much deeper than the posterior : the long upper lip acutely 4-toothed or 

 2-cleft and the lobes 2-toothed : corolla l>£-2 inches long; its narrow fal- 

 cate and much exserted galea as long as the tube. In the mountains of 

 eastern Oregon to California, Colorado and Arizona. 



-«- +- Floral leaves or bracts more or less dilated and colored : 

 calyx about equally cleft before and behind. 



C. oreopola Greenman Bot. Gaz. xxv, 264. Glabrous or nearly so 

 oelow, soft-pubescent above : stems erect, 6-12 inches high, somewhat fur- 

 rowed by the inconspicuous decurrence of the leaves : leaves sessile, ob- 

 long-lanceolate, 1-2 inches long by 3-5 lines wide, with 1 or 2 pairs of 

 divaricately spreading linear lobes, glabrous or the upper ones pubescent 

 with long soft spreading hairs; the lower ones much reduced, usually entire : 

 bracts 3-cleft to the middle, their lobes as well as the calyx deep rose-pur- 

 ple, (sometimes crimson or white) : calyx 6 lines long, about equally cleft 

 to the middle, the lobes oblong-linear, obtusish : corolla an inch long, the 

 narrow exserted galea green on the back : lower lip included, rather deeply 

 and subequally 3-lobed: capsule glabrous, about 6 lines long. On the 

 snowy peaks of the Cascade Mountains of Oregon and Washington. 



Var. suhintegra Fernald Eryth. vi, 45. Stems much clustered: 

 upper leaves mostly entire. Common in mountain bogs, eastern Oregon 

 and Washington. 



C. rupicola Piper. Fernald 1, c. Herbage often dark purple, pubes- 

 cent-hirsute to villous, especially above : stems tufted, usually numerous, 

 from a multicipital caudex, 4-8 inches high: leaves lanceolate in outline, 

 deeply cleft into 3-7 linear rather obtuse lobes, or the lowest rarely entire, 

 all sparsely short hirsute, %-2 inches long: bracts similar to the leaves, 

 but with rather broader lobes, more or less scarlet-tinged: flowers 5-15, in 

 a short raceme, deep scarlet, the lower with short pedicels: calyx 9-12 

 lines long, the tube shorter than the equal 2-lobed to entire lobes : corolla 

 15-18 lines long, the straight or curved galea much longer than the calyx ; 

 the minute saccately 3-lobed lower lip included: anthers white, exserted : 

 capsule oblong, 6 lines long: seeds numerous, deeply fa vose-pitted. On

C. angustifolia (Nutt.) Don Syst. iv, 616. C. parviflora Gray in part, 

 not Bong. Pubescence of two kinds, the shorter tine and appressed, the 

 longer, pilose hispid: stems more or less clustered, from a woody caudex, 

 simple, or sparingly branched above, 4-12 inches high : lower leaves linear, 

 entire or subentire; the upper cleft to near or below the middle into 3-5 

 linear or linear-lanceolate long-attenuate lobes, the lateral ones rather 

 strongly divaricate : bracts similar to the leaves, rather broader and more 

 deeply cleft into linear obtuse segments, strongly pilose toward the base, 

 the scarlet or rarely yellowish tips velutinous and sometimes glandular:
