Gilia densifolia Benih. 



Occasional throughout the Lower Transition Zone. (Nos. 

 330, 668, 2384.) 



Gilia dianthoides EndL Linanilms dianthiflorns Greene, Pitt. 



ii. 254 (1892). Fringed Gilia. 



This species, so abundant along the foot-hills in early spring, 

 was found blossoming beneath the pines of the Johnston Ranch 

 in May and June. 



Gilia glutinosa (Benth.) Gray. CoUomia gilioides Benth. 



Collected on all parts of the mountain from 5000 to 9000 ft. 

 alt. (No. 2450.) 



Gilia inconspicua sinuata Gray. 



In moist soil, Strawberry Valley. (1122, 2281.) 



Gilia latiflora exilis Gray. 



Common in the upper part of the chaparral belt of the south 

 and west sides and occasionally running over into the open pine 

 forests. (Nos. 2043, 2060, 2212.) 



Some forms of this closely resemble forms of G. tenuiflora, l)ut 

 it may always be distinguished from that species by the radical 

 leaves, which are only once-parted into slender divisions, and by 

 the corolla, the tube of which expands abruptly to form the wide 

 throat. At the foot of Chalk Hill, where the variety is abundant 

 under normal conditions, specimens were collected in May, 

 1897, which exhibited the large flowers and shortened pedicels 

 of typical G. latiflora. This change may have been produced by 

 the fire which passed over that region the preceding autumn; at 

 any rate it would seem to indicate that the two forms were verj- 

 closely related. 



Gilia Lemmoni Gray. Linanthns Lemmoni Greene, Pitt. ii. 



257 (1892). 



Very plentiful in the lower part of the pine belt of the south 

 side, and probably elsewhere, in early spring. (No. 2062.) 



Gilia pharnaceoides Bentli. Linanthus pJiamaceoides Greece, 



1. c. 254. 



Common beneath the pines on the Johnston Ranch and near 

 Fuller's mill. (No. 748.)
