Discussion | Collinsia parryi is most closely related to C. concolor, which has larger flowers arranged in tiers of whorls; their ranges are largely allopatric. Collinsia parryi occurs most commonly on the drier, leeward sides of the Peninsular and Transverse ranges. B. G. Baldwin et al. (2011) sampled chloroplast DNA, ribosomal DNA, and introns of nuclear-coding DNA and showed that many individuals of C. parryi had zero sequence-divergence from C. concolor. This result suggests a recent diversification of these taxa from an ancestor that was most like C. concolor. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Collinsia rattanii is best distinguished from C. linearis by corolla shape (floor of throat nearly parallel to abaxial side of calyx and reflexed portion of adaxial lip about equal to throat) and smaller size. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
