Taxonomic Comments
With the goal of establishing the genus Linanthus as monophyletic, Porter and Johnson (2000) move Gilia maculata, G. campanulata, G. inyoensis, and G. filiformis to Linanthus, due to their affinities to each other and since they all share most recent common ancestry with Linanthus rather than Gilia.
