458 POLEMONIACEZ HUGELIA 
GILIA 
rather stout 6-8 inches high, very rigid, especially the leaves and bracts; 
these lanceolate or the uppermost ones ovate, all pinnatifid and with diva- 
ricate subulate-spinose lobes: flowers glomerate: calyx cylindraceous with 
unequal, entire or 3-cleft, pungent teeth: corolla purple about twice the 
length of the calyx; ovules 6 or7 in each cell. On dry ridges, southwest 
Oregon to California. 
6 HUGELIA Benth. Bot. Reg, 1652. 
Low floccose-lanate plants with narrow or narrowly lobed al 
ternate leaves, and blue or white flowers in leafy-bracted terminal 
glomerules. Calyx densely woolly, 4—5-lobed, with acerose or sub- 
ulate and cuspidate or pungent lobes. Corolla salverform; with 
ovate or oblong lobes. Filaments filiform, exserted: anthers 
deeply sagittate. Seeds few in each cell. , 
H. floccosa. Gilia floccosa. Gray. Floccose-woolly, at least when 
young: stem 2-12 inches high, simple or branched, often diffuse or spread- 
ing: lobes of the calyx subulate, unequal, one large and three smaller ones, 
pungent: corolla yellow with blue or white lobes; its tube 3-4 lines long, 
surpassing the calyx-lobes: anthers narrowly oblong: seeds 1 or 2 in each 
cell. Dry plains, southeastern Oregon to California, Utah and Arizona. 
7 GILTA Ruiz & Pay. Prodr. Fl. Per. & Chil. 25, t. 4. 
Herbs with alternate or opposite simple or compound leaves and 
various inflorescence. Calyx campanulate or tubular, 5-toothed 
or 5-cleft, the sinuses usually scarious, Corolla funnelform or 
salverform, or sometimes campanulate or nearly rotate, regular. 
Stamens equally or unequally inserted in the tube or in the throat 
of the corolla: the mostly slender filaments sometimes unequal in 
length. Ovary oblong or ovoid, 3-celled with solitary or several 
ovules in each cell. Seeds 1-10 in each cell, usually developing 
mucilage, and often spiral threads, when wetted. 
* Bracts and calyx-lobes commonly cuspidate or aristulate, and 
pubescent with long and many-jointed somewhat viscid hairs: flowers 
capitate-congested or sometimes more loosely cymose. 
G. congesta Hook. F! ii, 75. White-pubescent throughout: root per- 
ennial: stems erect or spreading, 3-12 inches long from a tufted base, 
bearing simple terminal, or few and corymbose capitate cymes: leaves 
mostly petioled, %-2 inches long, pinnately divided into 3-9 narrowly 
linear mucronate divisions, or the uppermost entire: calyx campanulate ; 
with very short tube and oblong cuspidate-pointed lobes: corolla white, 
with oval lobes nearly as long as the tube, which does not exceed the 
calyx-lobes: filaments short, at length as long as the anthers: ovules 1-4 
in each cell. Dry plains, eastern Oregon to California and Nebraska. 
* * Rather tall biennials with thyrsoid-paniculate inflorescence. 
G. aggregata Spreng. Syst. i, 626. Somewhat pubescent: stems erect, 
1-4 feet high, leafy, simple, or sometimes loosely branched: leaves thick- 
isb, 1-3 inches long, mostly petioled, pinnately parted into narrowly linear 
mucronulate segments: flowers in a thyrsoid narrow loose or interrupted 
. panicle, sessile, in small mostly short-peduncled clusters: calyx commonly 
glandular, 3-4 lines long; the campanulate tube about as Jong as the subu- 
late teeth: corolla from scarlet to pink or white, 12-18 lines Ft tubular- 
funnelform; its lobes ovate or lanceolate, acute or acuminate, 3-4 lines 
long, widely spreading, soon recurved: stamens inserted in the throat or
