:''For Scarlet Gilia, formerly placed in this genus, see ''Ipomopsis aggregata''.'' ''Gilia'' is a genus of between 25 and 50 species of flowering plants in the family Polemoniaceae, native to temperate and tropical regions of the Americas, from the western United States south to northern Chile, where they occur mainly in desert or semi-desert habitats. They are herbaceous annuals, rarely perennials, growing to 10–120 cm tall. The leaves are spirally arranged, usually pinnate (rarely simple), forming a basal rosette in most species. The flowers are produced in a panicle, with a five-lobed corolla, which can be blue, white, pink or yellow. ''Gilia'' species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including ''Schinia aurantiaca'' and ''Schinia biundulata'' (the latter feeds exclusively on ''G. cana''). ;Selected species: ==References== *(Germplasm Resources Information Network: ''Gilia'' ) *(USDA Plants Profile: ''Gilia'' ) *(Flora of Chile: ''Gilia'' (pdf file) ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gilia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
