GILIA CEPHALOIDEA H. sp.
G. spicata var. capztata Gray, Syn. Fl. 2 ; part I, 1886 (iii part): not Proc. Am. Acad. 8: 274, 1870, nor G. capitata Sims, Bot. Mag. 53 : pl. 2698. 1826.
Jenney's plant collected in the Black Hills of South Dakota was included by Gray in the Synoptical Flora in G. spicata capttata. It is however scarcely the same as Hall & Harbour's no. 461, the type of the variety. The species, represented by Jenney's plant, my own no. 886, collected 1892, in the same region and no. 2764 collected near Lima, Mont., in 1895, differs from Gilia spicata not only in the subcapitate inflorescence, but also in the form and color of the flower. In G. spicata the corolla is greenish
or dull white, has a tube which is fully twice as long as the calyx, and oblong segments that are only one-third the length of the tube. In G. cephaloidea the corolla is pure white, tube only X or $ longer than the calyx and the segments elliptical and about half as long as the tube. The leaves are fully as much divided as in the former, but the plant is more woolly.
