toothed, the upper very long, flattened and arched at tip and inclosing 
the 4 stamens and style. (D. Castillejo, Spanish botanist.)

lip well exserted from lower side of calyx and exposing the lower lip.

Calyx-lobes mostly 2-cleft to middle.2. C. parviflora. 
Calyx-lobes entire or notched at apex. 
Herbage viscid-pubescent; leaves oval or obovate.3. C. latifolia. 
Herbage white-woolly; leaves linear.4. C. foliolosa. 
1. C. affinis H. & A. Scarlet Cup. Branches mostly simple and few 
from the base, 2.8 to 5.7 dm. high; leaves linear, entire, 9.6 cm. long or 
less; raceme loose below; bracts scarlet, 3-parted, the middle lobe 3-cleft; 
flowers 3 cm. long; calyx-lobes notched or 2-cleft at apex; corolla yel¬ 
lowish ; upper lip about as long as tube.—Borders of woods.

most equaling the small (1.8 cm. long) coralla.—Sea cliffs and headlands. 
4. C. foliolosa H. & A. Woolly Painted Cup. Stems clustered, 
woody at base, 2.4 to 4.3 dm. high; herbage white woolly; leaves linear, 
entire, crowded below and fascicled in the upper axils, about 2.4 cm. long
