tion of stamens, I have ventured to transfer this species to the former genus, 
where it naturally falls into Dr. Gray’s section Phloganthea, and forms a link 
of transition between the two genera. It may be here remarked that the 
character of Gilia given by Bentham and Hooker (Genera, 2,p.822), “semina 
nunquam spirillifera”, is evidently an oversight, since Dr. Gray, whose 
elaboration of the genus is adopted in full, restricts it to the species with 
opposite and palmately-cleft leaves.
