Giliastrum
''Giliastrum'' is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Polemoniaceae. Its native range is Central USA (found in the states of Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas) to Dominican Republic, Mexico and north-western Argentina. The genus name of ''Giliastrum'' is in honour of Filippo Luigi Gilii (1756–1821), an Italian clergyman, naturalist and astronomer who worked in part in the Vatican City, and it was first described and published in Fl. Rocky Mts. on page 699 in 1917.

Polemoniaceae
The Polemoniaceae (Jacob's-ladder or phlox family) are a family of flowering plants consisting of about 25 genera with 270–400 species of annuals and perennials native to the Northern Hemisphere and South America, with the center of diversity in western North America. Only one genus (''Polemonium'') is found in Europe, and two (''Phlox'' and ''Polemonium'') in Asia, where they are confined to cool temperate to arctic regions; both genera also occur more widely in North America, suggesting relatively recent colonization of the Old World from North America. The family can be distinguished from most other eudicot families by the ovary made up of three fused carpels (usually with three chambers, but with one chamber in some species). The members of the family have five sepals, five petals fused, and five stamens that alternate with the lobes of the corolla. For decades, most sources used a classification of the family published by Grant in 1959, but new evidence, including mol ...
