Variety antonius, from the eastern end of the San Gabriel Mountains in eastern Los Angeles and adjacent San Bernardino counties, is the homologue of var. sierrae, from which it differs by its much denser pubescence and mostly flat leaflets (D. Isely 1998). (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Variety lentiginosus is widespread in the northern part of its range and is partially sympatric with vars. platyphyllidius and salinus in the southern part of its range. It is transitional to both. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
