abruptly dilated but not ample as in G. aehilleaefolia and lobes 

 nearly as narrow as in G. capitata; stamens much exserted, 

 anthers nearly white; style also exserted. 



Nashville, El Dorado Co., G. P. Rixford. Common in the 

 interior, from Mariposa Co. to Shasta Co. 



In Muhlenbergia I, No. 3, Heller describes a new species, 

 Gilia pallida, the type found at the Petrified Forest, Sonoma Co. 

 It seems to be nearest G. staminea. 



25. Gilia capitata Dougl. 



Annual, a span to two feet high, slender, branching, nearly 

 glabrous; leaves once or twice pinnatifid, segments narrow; 

 inflorescence usually in round heads, not large, without woolly 

 pubescence, peduncles long, naked, or with one or two very 

 small bract-like leaves; calyx one and a half to two lines long, 

 slender, hyaline portion between the ribs broad and white, lobes 

 equalling or exceeding the tube; corolla pale blue to white, about 

 twice the calyx, tube nearly equalling the limb, throat not 

 abruptly dilated, lobes narrow, oblong, truncate; stamens pale 

 blue, inserted in the sinuses, exserted slightly beyond the lobes. 



Low grounds, Bay of San Francisco to Oregon. Not in the 

 Sierra Nevada Mts. 



26. Gilia aggregata Spreng. Cantua aggregata Pursh. 

 Annual, one to two feet tall, erect, usually simple with a 



long terminal compound raceme, stem leafy, especially at the 

 base; leaves sometimes resetted; often a woolly pubescence on 

 the stem and leaves; calyx more or less glandular; leaves one to 

 two and one-half inches long, once pinnatifid, rarely divided 

 at the base, pinnae few or many, long, and very abruptly acute; 

 inflorescence of large profuse racemes, pedicels short or none; 

 calyx two to three lines long, two lines broad, tube cup-shaped 

 to funnelform, lobes lanceolate, longer or shorter than the tube; 

 corolla one to two inches long, narrow-funnelform with spread- 

 ing limb, tube not over three lines broad at the top, lobes half as 

 long as the tube, very slender, acute, or shorter and broader, 

 yellow and bright red, often blotched; stamens of unequal 

 lengths, inserted a little below the sinuses, usually exceeding the 

 tube but not equal to the lobes.
