Gilia polyantha sp. nov. 



Perennial with a short woody base ; stems several, 3-4 dm. 

 high, striate and simple up to the inflorescence, glandular-puber- 

 ulent ; leaves 3-4 cm. long, pinnatifid, glabrous or with a few 

 white hairs; lobes linear filiform, pungent-pointed; flowers nu- 

 merous in a narrow thyrsus ; calyx campanulate, about 5 mm. 

 long, more or less scarious at the sinuses ; lobes broadly ovate- 

 triangular, abrubtly cuspidate-pungent ; corolla white, about 1 cm. 

 long, funnelform-salvershaped ; lobes about 5 mm. long, lance- 

 oblong, obtusish ; filaments about equaling the corolla-lobes, 

 somewhat incurved. 



This has been mistaken for G. multiflora Xutt., but is more 

 closely related to G. MacombiiTorr., differing mainly in the shorter 

 corolla and shorter pubescence.

Gilia Tweedyi sp. nov. 



Annual, branched, 2-4 dm. high ; stem and branches glandu- 

 lar-puberulent, especially the upper part ; leaves 2-3 cm. long, 

 pinnatifid, with lanceolate cuspidate lobes ; flowers paniculate ; 

 pedicels 1-8 mm. long ; calyx about 3 mm. long, scarious between 

 the green ribs ; lobes lanceolate ; corolla funnelform, about 4 mm. 

 long, bluish ; capsule ovoid, about 4 mm. long. 



This species is related to G. inconspiaia and G. minutiflora. 

 From the former it differs in the smaller corolla, of which not 

 only the corolla-tube but also the throat is included in the calyx; 

 from the latter it differs in the pinnatifid leaves. G. Tweedyi 

 grows in river bottoms and on sandy soil, at an altitude of 100c— 

 2200 m.

 tely lobed, with lanceolate teeth or lobes ; lower stem-leaves often 

 similar; the upper narrower and usually entire; calyx glandular, 

 about 5 mm. long; teeth lanceolate, scarious-margined ; corolla 

 salvershaped, about 15 mm. long, rose color; tube about 1 mm.
