Salt Gilia

Description

This herb grows up to 20 centimeters tall, its branching stem coated in cobwebby fibers and speckled with knob-tipped glandular hairs. The leaves gathered about the base of the stem are divided into deep, pointed lobes. The glandular inflorescence produces tubular flowers with ribbed sepals and yellow-throated lavender corollas. This is sometimes treated as a subspecies of Gilia leptantha.
