Gilia sinuata
Also called Cinder Gilia, Rosy Gily Flower, Shy Gilia, Sinuate Gilia
Gilia sinuata is a species of flowering plant in the phlox family known by the common names rosy gilia and rosy phlox. It is native to western North America from British Columbia to New Mexico, where it can be found in a number of open habitats, generally in sandy soil, and at elevations from 500 to 7500 feet.
It is native to southwestern Canada, the western United States, and northwestern Mexico. However, in Canada it only grew in British Columbia where it is believed to be extirpated, locally extinct. In the United States it is native to Idaho, Washington, and Oregon in the Pacific Northwest. It is found in every state of the southwest and as far east as Colorado and New Mexico. In Mexico it only grows in Baja California and Sonora.
