Discussion | Deinandra fasciculata occurs in southwestern California, especially on immediate coast, and on southern Central Coast and in the western Outer South Coast Ranges. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Of conservation concern. Deinandra arida is known only from Red Rock and Last Chance canyons and associated tributaries in the El Paso Mountains, western Mojave Desert. Depauperate specimens resemble D. kelloggii, which also has been documented from the Red Rock Canyon area. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
