4b. Gilia pungens var. tenuiloba Milliken, Univ. Calif. Pub. Bot., 

 vol. 2, p. 43. 1904. 



Not certainly known from the Sierra, but probably present in the 

 mountains of Tulare County (slope of Alta Peak, Dudley 1541). 



Var. Hookeri is distinguished from the species by a looser habit 

 of growth and by the divisions of the leaves being of very unequal 

 length, the middle lobe twice as long as the lateral lobes. Var. tenuiloha 

 is unlike both the species and the above variety in having the flowers 

 terminal and solitary; lobes of the leaves approximately equal but 

 much less rigid than in the type species or in var. Hookeri. The basis 

 for var. tenuiloha came from Mt. San Jacinto, Riverside County, aud 

 was collected by S. B. Parish, who first described it as G-ilia- tenuiloha.
