Collinsia heterophylla G.Buist ex Graham

Coixinsia BiCOiyOR Benth.
No. 8472, collected April 27, back of Alum Rock Park,
Santa Clara county, elevation 800 feet, on grassy banks near
trees. This is the typical form with large flowers, the upper
petals deep rose, the lower ones pale. The lobes of the upper
lip are oblong, either notched or entire, the throat open showing
a pronounced cavity. The dorsal side of the upper lip is raised
•and spur-like at the base. The flowers are clustered on very
short pedicels. The type was obtained by Douglas, probably at
Monterey, where it is not uncommon. In the Synoptical Flora
Gray says the throat is “full as broad as long,” which is by no
means the case, as it is 7 mm. long, barely over 1 mm. at base,
