This species also belongs to this group. Prof. Nelson stated in 



the original description: "Until now this section contained no 



perennials." Both G. iberidifolia and G. roseata are perennials. 



Gray divides the group in "annuals and short lived perennials or 



biennials."

I think also that Dr. Brand has misidentified Gilia trifida Nutt.
