Pedicularis Castilleja? 1. Pinnatifida. Leaves pinnatifid, pinnae crenate Flowers in spikes.

This plant which has not been described by any of our botanists, appears to me to differ from the Castilleja only in the lower lip of the Corolla, which is not shorter than usuall in bilabiate flowers. The calyx may be described as obliquely truncated, bifid at top.

Herbaceous root leaves large 6 to 8 inches long. Stem leafy round. Flowers in a spiky capitulum. Corolla yellowish sometimes tinged with purple, bracteae shaped like the leaves at the base of each flower, the whole plant cloathed with a soft down which becomes nearly effaced on the old leaves.

Grows on the edge of a gale, just back of my house at Vall Ombrosa has not yet been met with any where else. flowers in March & April.
