Discussion | Subspecies 2 (2 in the flora). As defined by Davis, the subspecies of Clarkia cylindrica have distinct but partly overlapping geographical ranges; subsp. cylindrica mainly in the South Coast and Transverse Ranges to the Tehachapi Mountain area, and subsp. clavicarpa mainly in the central and southern Sierra Nevada Foothills to the Tehachapi Mountain area. More recent collections suggest more substantial geographical overlap. Morphological variation correlates with geographical distribution, with the most consistent difference in ovary and capsule shape. According to Davis, the taxa are moderately interfertile, less so for more distantly separated individuals. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Subspecies 3 (3 in the flora). Clarkia biloba is most closely related to C. lingulata, which is derived from C. biloba subsp. australis. Some populations of C. biloba subsp. brandegeeae (originally described as a form of C. dudleyana) are morphologically very similar to some individuals of C. dudleyana but the two taxa are separated geographically, have different chromosome numbers, and hybrids between them are sterile.
