Two infraspecific taxa previously treated as varieties of Gilia polyantha Rydb. are recognized as belonging to Ipomopsis multiflora (Nuttall) V.E.Grant, which requires lectotypification. The new combinations, Ipomopsis multiflora (Nuttall) V.E.Grant subsp. brachysiphon (Wooton & Standley) Wilken, comb. & stat. nov. and subsp. whitingii (Kearney & Peebles) Wilken, comb. & stat. nov. are necessary for the treatment of Ipomopsis in a forthcoming volume of the Flora North America North of Mexico.
