than the bracteas or floral leaves : they are generally shorter than the flower, while in M. luteus the lower 

 ones especially are often considerably longer. What Sprengel means, when he says that in the one the 

 peduncles have bracteas, and in no other are ebracteate, we scarcely comprehend. 



2. Mimulus floribundus ; animus, caule prostrato villoso, foliis bracteisque consimilibus 

 petiolatis cordato-ovatis acutis denticulatis glabris plurinerviis, pedunculis pubescentibus 

 bractea sublongioribus calyce urceolato pubescenti dentibus acutis subaequalibus. — Lindl. 

 Bot. Beg. t. 1125. 



This quite agrees with Mr. Menzies' original specimens from the same coast. 



3. Mimulus glutinosus; glutinosus, caule erecto suffruticoso, foliis sessilibus elliptico- 

 oblongis acutiusculis obscure dentatis subtus pubescentibus pedunculis calyce tubuloso duplo 

 brevioribus. — W'dld. — M. aurantiacus. Bot. Mag. t. 354. 



1. Castilleja affinis; caule herbaceo subsimplici piloso-hispido, foliis lineari-lanceolatis 

 trinerviis pubescentibus integris, floralibus linearibus integris vel (raro) apice dentato-lobatis, 

 floribus inferioribus pedunculitis, calyce florifero tubidoso antice posticeque fisso lobis bifidis 

 segmentis lineari-lanceolatis acutis, corolla calycem superante. 



It will be seen from the above character, taken from the Californian specimens, that there are considerable 

 points of difference between them and the C. pallida of authors, the Bartsia pallida of Michaux. The 

 floral leaves, not dilated, also separate it from C. lithospermoides of Kunth. From C. integrifolia, Linn, 

 to which it is also allied, the tubular, not ventricose, calyx, during flowering, will keep it distinct. 



2. Castilleja latifolia; caule subberbaceo ramoso inferne subhirsuto pubescente superne 

 subvilloso, foliis ovato-oblongis obtusis integris dense pubescentibus, floralibus dilatatis 

 cuneatis apice trifidis lobis brevibus obtusis medio latiori, floribus subsessilibus, calyce 

 florifero tubuloso antice postice aequaliter fisso lobis breviter obtuse bidentatis, corolla? tubo 

 calycem aequante. 



According to Mr. Collie this is from three to six inches high, and grows in wet sandy places : he mentions 

 that the flowers are in a lax terminal spike; but, with the exception of one specimen, in which the bracteas 

 have fallen away, those in the Collection exhibit a spike which is both short and dense. Chamisso appears 

 to have found in the same place, " in arenosis littoralibus ad portum S. Francisci Novae California," a 

 species which surely must be the same with ours, but which he refers to C. Toluccensis, H. B. K., owing, 

 perhaps, to his having only seen " serotinas autumni proles." This and the next must belong to the same 

 subgenus or section of Castilleja as Euchroma coccinea, Nutt. having the same kind of calyx, while C. 

 affinis has more the calyx of Euchroma grandiflora. 



3. Castillejayb/i'ofosa; niveo-tomentosa, caule fruticoso ramoso, foliis confertis inferioribus 

 linearibus obtusis superioribus floralib usque divaricato-tripartitis rariusve integris, floribus 

 subsessilibus, calyce florifero tubuloso antice postice oequaliter fisso lobis leviter emarginatis, 

 corollae tubo calyce breviore. 



From two to three feet high, according to Mr. Collie, who found it in a clayey soil, in hilly situations. 

 In some points it approaches to Cjissifolia, L. The axils of the leaves are furnished with a tuft of leaves 

 on short abortive branches. 



4. Castilleja ambigua; pubescens, annua, caulibus plurimis subramosis, foliis sparsis inferi- 

 oribus lanceolatis obtusis superioribus floralibusque sensim majoribus dilatatis profunde
