inferius paullo majus et apice profunde bifidum (!). Corollae labium su- 

 perius cucullatum indivisum calyce brevius, labium inferius toto ambitu 

 latissime obovatum, suborbiculare, leviter incurvum medium fere usque 

 apertum, orificium triangulum, lobus inflexus angustissimus, corolla 

 minutissime papillosa vix pilosa dicenda ; stamina perbrevia labium breve 

 superius vix excedentia ; antheras magnae loculi separati. Corolla intense 

 aurea, 1.31.5 cm. longa et fere lata. 



S. Patagonia, in the steppe. (Leg. O. A. Peterson.) 



Proxima C. lorentzii Gris., differt tamen ab ilia inflorescentia, foliis et 

 statura. Differt porro ab omnibus hujus sectionis et a permultis Calceo- 

 lariis calyce exacte pentamero, sub N. 33 (post C. lorentzii} monographiae 

 nostrae adnumeranda est. (Fr. Kranzlin.) 



Stem short, every branch with two very approximate leaf-pairs ; leaves 

 spathulate-oblong, obtuse, generally entire, attenuate to a short petiole, 

 glabrous on the upper side, pilose on the nerves of the underside ; scapes 

 solitary, more or less reddish, only upwards slightly pilose, leafless; 

 racemes dichaseous, few-flowered, with pedicels of very different length 

 and, as well as the calyx, glandular-pilose ; the calyx segments broad- 

 oblong, the upper one small, the laterals greater, the lower still greater 

 and deeply bifid; corolla yellow, minutely papillous; upper lip cucullate, 

 entire, shorter than the calyx, lower broad-obovate, suborbicular, slightly 

 incurved, open to beyond the middle, with triangular opening; stamens 

 very short, scarcely exceeding the lip; anthers great with separated cells.

Rhizoma repens crasse radicosum caespitificum pluriramosum. Caules 

 brevissimi paucifoliati. Folia dense congesta, paria 2 vel 3 valde approxi- 

 mata, e petiole brevi sensim in laminam oblongam vel oblongo-lanceolatam 

 dilatata, maxima ad 3 cm. longa, vix i cm. lata, supra et subtus minute 

 pilosa, in nervis vix densius. Scapi tenues omnino aphylli ad 10 cm. 

 alti; racemi pauciflori, dichasiales; bracteae minutae, oblongae. Calcyis 

 segmenta late oblonga obtusa vel imo fere orbicularia. Corollae labium 

 superius quam calyx duplo fere longius cucullatum ; labium inferius 

 obovatum obtusum leviter inflexum, medium fere usque apertum ; lobus 

 inflexus magnus antice (t. e., in cucullo labii) papillis minutis semiglobosis
