03/31/98 1COMMENT According to Dr. Richard Spellenberg the distinction between Gilia mexicana, G.
flavocincta (also called G. opthalmoides), and G. sinuata is not easily made with
the references we have available to us. Characters such as (1)stems clasping vs.
not, (2)leaves reduces above rosette immediately or gradually, and (3)the extent
to which the corolla tube is exerted beyond the calyx are highly variable and do
not distinguish the species. A taxonomic review needs to be done on this group,
and until then, Dr. Spellenberg suggests we just refer to them as the Gilia
sinuata group, which includes these 3 potential species. Based on this
recommendation, Gilia spp. will in the future be identified as Gilia sinuate
with the understanding that it refers to the G. sinuata group. [See Comment of

01/24/07 CHANGE The 3 species of Gilia (G. sinuate, G. Mexicana, G. flavocincta) were all lumped
as G. sinuate beginning in 1998. See change entries above dated 03/31/98 and
09/09/99. However, the field key to these 3 species is now thorough enough to
identify the 3 individual species. This has been verified with Dr. Richard
Spellenber. As a result, the GISI code used for the 3 species is now changed to
represent the individual species as given below. The expanded field key used is
that found in Kelly Allredís ìA Field Guide to the Flora of the Jornada Plainî,
Fifth Edition, June 2005.
