    1. Reviewed by CalPhotos Staff    pre-2001

    Action: changed name from "Gilia BREVICULUS" to "Gilia sp. "

    Reviewer's comments:
         "4/2/97: species changed from BREVICULUS to SP. per H.Wilson wilson@bio.tamu.edu: species unknown - breviculus not found"

    2. Reviewed by Dora Jakobsdottir    Aug 6, 2004

    Action: changed name from "Gilia sp." to "Linanthus breviculus "

    Reviewer's comments:
         "The epithet breviculus is very uncommon. I think it is very likely that the name was meant to be Linanthus breviculus, not Gilia."

    3. Reviewed by Aaron Schusteff    May 31, 2009

    Action: changed name from "Linanthus breviculus" to "Gilia sp. "

    Reviewer's comments:
         "According to standard regional references (Jepson, Munz, Abrams, and more) Linathus breviculus flowers are both sessile and salverform, unlike those in this photo. Thus this is definitely not L. breviculus and is probably best left as Gilia sp. until someone familiar with the California taxa can better place it using specific identification characters."
