Ipomopsis longiflora, commonly known as flaxflowered gilia or flaxflowered ipomopsis, is a plant species. The Zuni people utilize the dried, powdered flowers and water of I. longiflora subsp. longiflora to prepare a poultice for removing hair from newborns and children.[4]
Taxonomy
[edit]The first scientific description of Ipomopsis longiflora was by John Torrey in 1828; he placed it in the genus Cantua with the name Cantua longiflora. It was moved to the genus Gilia in 1837 by George Don and to Ipomopsis in 1956 by Verne Grant, giving the species its accepted name. Together with its genus it is classified in the Polemoniaceae family and has three accepted subspecies.[2]
- Ipomopsis longiflora subsp. australis – Native to New Mexico, Arizona, & Sonora[5]
- Ipomopsis longiflora subsp. longiflora – Western central US and northern Mexico[6]
- Ipomopsis longiflora subsp. neomexicana – The Four Corners states and Texas[7]
Ipomopsis longiflora has ten synonyms of the species and its three subspecies.[8]
