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.

[JPA] 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. CHANGED GISI G. sinuata Dougl. TO GIME Gilia mexicana A.&V.
