WOOTON AND STANDLEY FLORA OF NEW MEXICO. 527 



them carefully in their relation to other groups of the genus, it seems impossible to 

 separate them on any logical ground. About the only distinction is the color of the 

 flowers, scarcely a sufficient basis for generic segregation; and even this is not con- 

 stant, for among the red-flowered plants white-flowered individuals are common. If 

 the group is accorded generic rank, it should receive the name Ipomopsis, typified 

 by Gilia coronopifolia. It is scarcely possible to conceive of that species and G. 

 aggregata as belonging to different genera. 



This and the next species were segregated from G. aggregata. That species certainly 

 does not occur in New Mexico, at least among the specimens we have examined.

A remarkable species, distinguished from all the related ones by its small white 

 flowers and the peculiarly formed corolla tube. Otherwise it suggests G. glom^riflora 

 Benth., but that has a very different calyx.
