Gilia minor A.D. Grant & V.E. Grant Native winter ephemeral herb; LdwS. DBa 5126,<br />
5127; André 28644.<br />
Plants in the Gilia inconspicua (J.e. Sm.) Sweet complex are sometimes distinguishable only<br />
with considerable difficulty. None of the color patterns for corollas used by Porter (2014) in the<br />
portion of his key that includes these species are evident on the collections noted above. Both<br />
Daniel & Bartholomew 5126 (pinkish corollas) and 5127 (white corollas) were annotated as<br />
G. transmontana (H. Mason & A.d. grant) A.d. grant & V.e. grant by A. day in 1989. Based on<br />
characters that are present on these plants (i.e., leaf lobes mostly less than 1 mm wide that are pointed<br />
toward the leaf apex and ellipsoid capsules that are only slightly exserted beyond the calyx) and<br />
using the keys of wilken and Porter (2005) and day (2002), these collections are either more consistent<br />
with features of G. minor (leaf lobes), or are intermediate between G. minor and G. transmontana<br />
(capsules). André & La Doux 28644, originally determined as G. minor, shares these<br />
same characters and has more mature capsules with valves that are not detaching (as reported for<br />
G. minor). Based on the specimens and data available, we tentatively treat these collections from<br />
the southern Black Mountains as G. minor. Cronquist (1984) treated Gilia minor, G. sinuata, and<br />
G. transmontana as synonyms of a broadly delimited G. inconspicua. while such treatment<br />
appears reasonable and appealing based on morphological intermediacies present, it has not been<br />
followed in the more recent accounts (e.g., Porter 2014; wilken and Porter 2005) on which our<br />
species concepts and nomenclature are based.<br />
