I96 GILIA FAMILY 



in the axils. Corolla white (or tinged with rose), about 1 in. 

 long, the flaring lobes roundish and obtuse. Stamens not 

 protruding. 



This Gilia forms loose mats on summits and along ledges 

 at more than middle altitudes. It resembles Phlox, but the 

 corolla gradually expands from a narrow tube to the spread- 

 ing limb (funnelform), while in Phlox the limb is abruptly 

 spreading (salverform). Var. hookeri Gray, is a form with 

 fewer but more rigid leaves. 



9. G. filipes Benth. Stems 2 to 6 in. high, pubescent, often 

 branched, the few flowers on thread-like pedicels from the 

 upper axils. Leaves *4 m - ° r less long, parted into 3 to 7 nar- 

 row pointed lobes. Corolla & in. long, flaring from base to the 

 rounded lobes (broad-funnelform, without tube), lilac, with 

 yellow throat, much exceeding the calyx. (G. pusilla calif or- 

 nica Gray. Lilian thus filipes Greene.) — Along the lower part 

 of the pine belt. 



10. G. harknessii Curran. Stems 3 to 12 in. high, glabrous, 

 simple below, the flowers on naked thread-like pedicels. 

 Leaves % to l /> in. long, palmately parted into 3 to 5 very 

 narrow lobes, thus appearing whorled. Corolla minute, white 

 or purplish. Capsule only 3-seeded. (Linanthus harknessii 

 Greene.) — Yosemite Valley; Tuolumne Meadows. 



11. G. ciliata Benth. Stem 3 to 12 in. high, short-hairy, the 

 flowers nearly sessile in terminal heads surrounded by leaf- 

 like bracts parted into linear sharp-pointed lobes. Leaves *4 

 to 1 in. long, parted into 5 to 7 narrow rigid lobes. Bracts 

 larger, with stiff white hairs. Corolla y 2 to 34 in. long, tubular, 

 with small round lobes, rose-purple with yellow throat. {Li- 

 nanthus ciliatus Greene.) — Not rare up to about 7500 ft. alt. and 

 in a depauperate form to 9000 ft. Our specimens seem all to 

 belong to var. neglecta Brand, distinguished by its simple 

 stem 6 in. or less high and by the variegated corolla-lobes. 



12. G. bicolor Brand. Similar to small forms of G. ciliata 

 but known by the very slender corolla-tube two or three 

 times as long as the bracts (which are less hairy). (Linanthus 

 bicolor Greene.) — Found at Crockers and at 7500 ft. alt. on 

 Indian Creek; perhaps not rare. 



13. G. androsacea var. montana Brand. Also similar to 

 G. ciliata but often tall and the flowers much more showy, 1 

 to V/2 in. long, the tube purplish and pubescent, the throat 

 yellowish, the large lobes white tinged with violet. (Linanthus 

 montanus Greene.)— At 4500 ft. alt. near Crockers and at 6500 

 ft. near the Middle Fork of the Tuolumne.
