20. CASTILLEIA, Mutis. Painted-Cup. 



Calyx tubular, flattened, cleft at the summit on the anterior, and usually on 

 the posterior side also ; the divisions entire or 2-lobed. Tube of the corolla in- 

 cluded in the calyx ; its upper lip long and narrow, arched and keeled, flattened 

 laterally, enclosing the 4 unequal stamens ; the lower lip short, 3-lobed. Anther- 

 cells oblong-linear, unequal, the outer fixed by the middle, the inner pendulous, 

 Pod many-seeded. — Herbs (root-parasitic), with alternate entire or cut-lobed 

 leaves ; the floral ones usually dilated, colored, and more showy than the yel- 

 low or purplish spiked flowers. (Dedicated to Castillejo, a Spanish botanist.) 



1. C. COCCinea, Spreng. (Scarlet Painted-Cup.) Hairy biennial or 

 annual ; stem simple ; root-leaves clustered ; those of the stem incised ; the floral

2. C. pallida, Kunth. Smooth or sparingly hairy perennial ; at the sum- 

 mit woolly ; leaves often incised ; the floral oblong or obovate, whitish, rarely 

 tinged with purple ; calyx cleft more deeply in front, the divisions 2-cleft, the ovate-

 — Prairies, Wisconsin (Laphain), Illinois, and westward. — Corolla 2' long. 



21. SCHWALBEA, Gronov. Chaff-seed. 



Calyx oblique, tubular, 10-12-ribbed, 5-toothed; the posterior tooth much

 corolla arched, oblong, entire ; the lower rather shorter, erect, 2-plaited, with 3 

 very short and broad obtuse lobes. Stamens 4, included in the upper lip : an- 

 ther-cells equal and parallel, obscurely pointed at the base. Pod ovate, many- 

 seeded. Seeds linear, with a loose chaff-like coat- — A perennial minutely pu- 

 bescent upright herb (l°-2° high), with leafy simple stems, terminated by a 

 loose spike of rather large dull purplish-yellow flowers ; the leaves alternate, 

 sessile, 3-nerved, entire, ovate or oblong, the upper gradually reduced into nar-
