 GILIA BELLA A. Gray. 



Stems diffuse from base, simple or 

 sparingly branched, filiform, few- 

 leaved, glabrous and smooth: leaves 2 

 or 3 lines long, 3-parted, villous at 

 base, thickish, the broadly linear lobes 

 carinate: fls sessile or short-pedicelled 

 in axils of the uppermost bract-like 

 leaves and in the forks: calyx-lobes 

 strongly carinate and hyaline-margin- 

 ed: corolla rotate campanulate, with 

 yellow tube, purple-spotted throat, and 

 ample violet-colored limb (V 2 in. in di- 

 ameter when expanded), the lobes al- 

 most flabelliform, entire: filaments a 

 little hairy at base: ovules several in 

 each cell. Mts. Baja Cal. (Or). 

 GILIA MULTICAULIS Benth. 



"Plant often 2 ft. high, glabrous ex- 

 cept the glandular-hirsute calyx: 

 branches either many and with very- 

 few fls at the ends, -or few and with 

 large densely cymose clusters: calyx 

 mainly herbaceous, the scarious spa- 

 ces below the sinuses extremely nar- 

 row; segments also wholly herbaceous, 

 erect: corolla with short tube, and 

 broad funnelform throat, the latter 

 about equalling the obovate acute seg- 

 ments, the whole dark violet, without 

 markings: anthers also deep violet, on 

 short filaments and wholly included 

 within the limb of the corolla," 

 Greene, Erythea 3:103-4. 

 GILIA ABROTANIFOLIA Nuttall. 



"Nearly glabrous. 1-2 ft. high, sim- 

 ple, or with few ascending branches, 

 these and the upper part of the main 

 stem naked and pedunculiform, bear- 

 ing a treminal dense cymose cluster of 

 large blue fls: leaves ample, even the 

 cauline tripinnately dissected, the ul- 

 timate segments linear and spatulate- 

 linear, spreading or curving backwards, 

 very acute: calyx nearly or quite gla- 

 brous, mainly hyaline, only a broad 

 midvein truly herbaceous, the seg- 

 ments acute, not connivent: corolla 

 large, apparently blue without mark- 

 ings; throat ample-funnelform, lobes 

 spreading, obovate, obtuse: stamens 

 scarcely exserted." Greene, Erythea 

 3:104. Santa Cruz Mts., Santa Barbara

 most the same thing, but with rather 

 smaller corollas, the .stamens not at all 

 exserted" (Parish).

"Leptodactykm. Stems slender, sub-

 high, few-branched near the ends; 

 leaves alternate, not longer (5-10 mm.) 

 than the internodes, palmately 3-part-

 of lateral divisions, in either form the 

 central division 2-3 times longer than 

 the laterals, all the divisions linear, or 

 very narrowly spatulately enlarged 

 above, pungent, the leaves -on the ulti- 

 mate branchlets undivided; fls solitary, 

 terminating the branchlets; calyx 6-8 

 mm long, the sinuses hyaline-membra- 

 naceous, the linear green ribs pro- 

 longed into short, nearly equal, acerose 

 teeth; corolla funnelform, light yellow; 

 tube slender, 10-13 mm long, slightly 

 enlarged at the throat; lobes as long 

 as the tube, linear 'oblong; anthers in-

 of the same length, inserted near the 

 base of the throat; styles 2 mm long, 

 stigma lobes 3 mm long; ovary oblong, 

 acute; ovules about 6 in each cell. San

 GILIA HALLII Parish. 



"Leptodactylon. Stems woody be- 

 low, set with opposite fascicle-like buds 

 made up of short acerose scales, the 

 upper buds producing slender, puberu- 

 lent flowering branches, 10-12 cm long; 

 their leaves opposite, palmately 3-part- 

 ed to the base, the divisions acicular, 

 the central one (7-8 mm) thrice longer 

 than the laterals: fls few, clustered at 

 the summits of the branches; calyx 

 hyaline-membraneceous with green 

 ribs which are prolonged into unequal 

 acerose teeth; corolla 'white', or ochro- 

 leucous, becoming yellow in drying,

 exceeding the calyx, the throat only 

 moderately enlarged; lobes obovate, 5-
