Variety semotus, similar to var. ineptus, occurs in the Inyo and White mountains in Inyo and Mono counties, California, and Esmeralda County, Nevada. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
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.) |
