PENTSTEMONS AT WISLEY, 1914. 



277 



approach two-thirds of a circle. The upper stamen is usually modified 

 to a staminode, its free end resting on the inner edge of the lower lip. 

 The terminal flower is frequently monstrous. The colour may be 

 spread partly or completely over the outside of the corolla tube, 

 either terminating sharply on the inside of the lips or diffusing into 

 the throat ; there is frequently dark blotching on the lower lips 

 and lines running down the corolla tube. 



In the following descriptions, where no mention is made of the 

 mouth or inside of the tube, the absence of blotching and lines is 

 indicated. Where a variety does not vary from the usual height 

 of 25-30 inches, no special reference is made to its stature. 



The numbers and letters, e.g. (69 i), following the colour name 

 refer to " Colour Standards and Colour Nomenclature," Ridgway.
