Rank Reasons
Range is limited to western Colorado, eastern Utah, and northwestern New Mexico. Rare in Utah and Colorado; apparently uncommon in New Mexico.
Range Extent Comments
Utah (Garfield, Grand, and San Juan counties), Colorado (Dolores, La Plata, Mesa, Montezuma, Montrose counties) , and New Mexico (McKinley, Rio Arriba, and San Juan counties; USDA NRCS 2017). Also documented in Apache County, Arizona (NatureServe 2017).
Occurrences Comments
Extremely rare in Utah. There are 9 Colorado specimens from 4 counties (CU Herbarium 4/99).
Ecology & Habitat
Description
Biennial, 1-5 dm tall, sparsely glandular-stipitate throughout to subglabrous. Basal leaves coarsely toothed to pinnately cleft or lobbed. Cauline leaves abruptly reduced, mostly linear and entire. Rose-purple to pink-lavender tubular flowers, > 1 cm long, clustered near the ends of the stems. Unlike several other Gilia species, the anthers are not exserted (Weber and Wittmann 2012, Ackerfield 2015, Schnieder 2017).
Habitat
Blackbrush, matchweed, and shadscale communities at 1370-1525 m (Welsh 1987). "Dry places, often on clay knolls or on shaley sandstone outcrops, from the sagebrush or saltbush plains up to the oak and ponderosa pine zones, often in the pinyon-juniper community" (Cronquist et al.1984).
