Gilia tricolor, Benth. Fig. 1636. A very diffuse, twiggy grower, 2-2 ½ ft. high, sparsely pubescent: lvs. few on the full-grown plant, small, with many short, very narrow or needle-shaped divisions: fls. comparatively large ( ¾ in. long or nearly so), nearly or quite bell- shaped, the corolla 2-3 times the length of the calyx; color of the roundish lobes violet and passing to whitish at the base, of the throat brown-purple and of the tube yellow. W. Calif. B.M. 3463. B.R. 1704. —One of the commonest of garden annuals. There is a white form (G. nivalis, Hort. G. alba, Hort.), Gn. 72, p.201, and a rose-colored form (G. rosea, Hort.), and a red-violet form (var. rubro-violacea, Hort.) Besides these a small form has been called G. nana, a large one G. splendens, and a dense, stiff one G. compacta. None of these names appears to be in anything but trade catalogues. Thrives with the least care, and is always a profuse bloomer. It requires an open warm situation. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
