Could it be that the Gilia achilleifolia is actually Gilia angelensis?
The reason I chose the former is because the Jepson manual divides the two with this criteron:-Flowers generally in heads or clusters of > 8-The typical head count for these flowers was 11.
Thanks for the explanation. I asked because I was trying to ID them myself in photos that I made. I looked at the number of observations recorded in CalFlora and found that G. achilleifolia was only sparsely observed in San Diego County, while there’s plenty of observations of G. angelensis (doesn’t mean anything of course). The head count in my flower photos is much lower though, which makes me confident that I photographed G. angelensis. Thanks again!
