Gambelia is a genus of flowering plants in the Antirrhineae tribe of the plantain family[1] commonly known as bush snapdragons.[2] This genus is native to northwestern Mexico, particularly the Baja California Peninsula, but species are also found on the coast of Sonora, Guadalupe Island,[3] and the Channel Islands of California.[2] The genus is named in honor of William Gambel (1823–1849), an American naturalist, ornithologist, and botanist.[4]
