Acanthogilia is a genus with a single species of desert shrub from Baja California, Mexico. It was first scientifically described as a genus in 1986.[1] [2]
Classification
Its closest relatives within the family Polemoniaceae are not clear. Some evidence suggests it was first to diverge from the ancestral member of that family, some puts it in a group with Bonplandia, Cobaea, and Cantua, and some say that those three genera diverged first, followed by Acanthogilia (followed by the rest of the family).[3]
