Gilia (genus) (annotated references):

Gilia Flower Anatomy:
"In Gilia, the corolla is divided into three sections - tube, throat, and lobes (limb). The tube is the proximal part that is generally cylindrical before any substantial expansion. The throat is the conical part that expands in diameter. The lobes (limb) are the part where the corolla is no longer fused. So, often - and in this case - the tube is completely hidden inside the calyx to the point where its color cannot be discerned without dissecting the flower." INat Fredwatson
