 39315 and 39316. Pentstemon humilis Nutt. Scrophulariaceae. 



" From Flagstaff Hill." Low-branching perennial occurring in the 

 Rocky Mountains and westward. It is well suited for the hardy border, 

 but does not usually grow higher than 6 inches. The flowers, which 

 are one-half inch in length, are rather narrow and of a deep-blue color, 

 sometimes ranging to white. It grows well in fairly good soil. The 

 flower stalks should be supported by light stakes to keep them from 

 being blown about by the winds or borne down by heavy waterings.
