A large genus of exceedingly pretty wild flowers which form masses of color- 

 ing characteristic of our spring flora. 



There are something like 50 species in the state when the group is considered 

 in the broad sense and treated so as to include the sub-genera which for the 

 most part are the sections of the original Gilia segregated and given full generic 

 rank. There seems to be little uniformity of opinion in regard to the position of 

 many of the species. We find them placed by some in one genus or section, and 

 by others in another. 



The following sections are frequently treated as genera : Dactylophyllum, Lin- 

 anthus, Leptosiphon, Siphonella, Leptodactylon, Navarretia, Hugelia, Elaphocera, 

 Eugilia, Ipmopsis, Courtoisia. Three additional generic names are also used, viz : 

 Langloisia, Loeselia, Microsteris. 



So many different forms occur within the species that the best botanists even 

 with considerable material before them have been unable to make satisfactory 

 identifications. We will not attempt to list the species. Those on exhibit will be 

 found under 1285 A-Z.
