Linanthus (flax flower). Polemoniaceae. By Gray, Peter and others included in Gilia as a section or subgenus, but by some authors kept distinct. L. densiflorus, Benth., is described on page 1337 as Gilia densiflora. It is advertised as "California phlox." It is an old garden annual, very attractive when sown thickly as it makes a mass of lilac bloom. The plant is native in the Coast ranges and valleys of Calif. About a dozen West American gilias are now included in this genus by some writers, one other of which, L. androsaceus, Greene (Gilia androsacea, Steud., p. 1337), is sometimes grown as a flower-garden annual.
