WILD FLOWERS OF CALIFORNIA 



107 



FIGWORT FAMILY SCROPHULARIACEAE 



A large family represented in California by about twenty genera and many 

 species. 



The herbage of many is bitter and we find large areas of pasturage in the val- 

 leys practically worthless for forage on account of their close abundance. 



The common foxglove, Digitalis purpurea, an European plant, is grown in the 

 State and should be profitable at this time. Its market value per pound is about 

 40 cents. 



Some of the members have very beautiful flowers, e. g., Mimulus, Castilleia 

 and Pentstemon. The majority, however, are ill-smelling.
