 Gilia § DJMiikQides, Endl.

 pubescent : leaves narrow-linear : corolla an inch or more long, lilac or purplish usually 

 with darker or yellowish throat ; the slender nearly included glabrous filaments inserted 

 towards its base : ovules 12 t,o 20 in each cell. — Atakt. t. 29 ; Hook. Bot. Mag. t. 4876. 

 Fendia diantkiflora, Benth. in Bot. Beg. 1. c. F. speciosa (a large-flowered form), & F.

§ 2. LinXnthus, Endl., Benth. Corolla salverform ; the narrow tube about 

 equalling the cylindrical tube of the calyx (which is white-scarious, except the 

 rite, prolonged into acerose-linear teeth) ; the broadly cuneate-ofeovate Jobes com- 

 monly minutely or obsoletely erose or crenulate, strongly convolute in the bud : 

 stamens included in the tube of the corolla : filaments inserted below its middle, 

 slender : ovules 20 to 40 in each cell : capsule cylindraceous or oblong : erect and 

 slender glabrous annuals, about a span high or taller, with leaves all opposite, 

 filiform or nearly so, 3-5-divided, or the lower simple, sometimes nearly all 

 simple, especially in depauperate specimens : flowers mostly showy, white or 

 nearly so, terminal or in the forks and subsessile. — Z««aw$?«s, Benjlj-, formerly. 

 G. diohotoma, Benth. Plowers showy; the lobes of the corolla from half to nearly
