 calyx glandular, as are also the pedicels, the teeth subulate, as long as the 

 narrowly campanulate tube: corolla yellov^ or rose-color, tubular-funnelform, 

 io-20 mm. long, minutely glandular; the lobes oval, less than half as long as 

 the tube: stamens included, nearly sessile: style glabrotis: capsule ovoid: seeds 

 angled, narrowly winged, unchanged if wetted. (G. Crandallii Rydb. 1.

13. Gilia spicata Nutt. Journ. Acad. Nat. Sci. 2: 156. 1848. Stems rather 

 stout, erect, simple, or several from the fusiform root, 2-3 dm. high: capitate 

 flower-clusters crowded in an elongated, virgate, and spike-like thyrsus: leaves 

 thickish, almost filiform, some about 3-cleft, occasionally all entire, barely 

 mucronate: corolla salverform, purplish, 10-12 mm. long; the lobes shorter 

 than the tube: anthers subsessile in the throat: ovules 4-6 in each cell. — 

 Mountains of Colorado to Utah and Wyoming. 



13o. Gilia spicata deserta A. Nels. Bull. Torr. Bot. Club 26: 132. 1899. 

 Habit of the species, but usually shorter-stemmed; stems one or more from a 

 woody root with one or more swollen crowns, lanate: basal leaves crowded 

 on the crowns, mostly simple, linear; the cauline pinnatifid, the divisions few 

 (3-5), linear, shorter Hhan in the species: inflorescence crowded-spicate, in 

 dwarf plants approaching capitate: calyx closely and minutely glandular. — ■ 

 Desert areas in Colorado and Wyoming. 



14. Gilia cephaloidea Rydb. 1. c. 24: 293. 1897. Lanate-pubescent; stems 

 simple, solitary or several from the crown, 1-3 dm. high; root somewhat 

 woody: radical leaves crowded, linear, or 3-cleft at the apex, 5 cm. long; 

 cauline few, 3-5-cleft, the segments short, linear: corolla white: stamens 

 equally inserted in the throaty exserted, the filament and anther subequal: 

 style as long as the corolla, pilose at the apex. — South Dakota to Montana 

 and Wyoming. 



15. Gilia congesta Hook. Fl. Bor. Am. 2: 75. 1838. Stems erect or spread- 

 ing, 1-3 dm. high, from a tufted base, bearing single terminal or few and 

 corymbose capituliform cymes: leaves with 2-7 mucronate divisions, or some 

 of them entire: corolla white, salverform; lobes of the corolla nearly as long 

 as the tube, which does not exceed the usually aristulate-tipped calyx-lobes: 

 exserted filaments at length as long as the anthers: ovules 1-2 in each cell: 

 capsule globose, 1-3-seeded.— From the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific 

 States. , 



15a. GiUa congesta iberidifolia (Benth.) Brand, 1. c. 121. Leaves more 

 rigid and the lobes cuspidate-tipped, as are also the bracts: capitate cymes 

 corymbose: filaments shorter: ovules solitary in each cell. Not readily dis- 

 tinguished from depauperate specimens of the species. (G. spergulifolia Rydb. 

 1. c. 633; G. roseata Rydb. 1. c.) — Nebraska to Colorado and Wyoming. 



15b. Gilia congesta crebrifolia (Nutt.) Gray, 1. c. Low, often depressed: 

 leaves crowded, all entire, linear, rigid: stems usually terminated by a single 

 capitate cluster. (G. Merrillii A. Nels. Bot. Gaz. 34: 27. 1902.) — In the 

 Rocky Mountain States. 



16. Gilia polycladon Torr. Bot. Mex. Bound. 2: 146. 1859. Stems 1-2 

 dm. high, puberulent or sparsely' pubescent, diffuse, very few-leaved: leaves
